This is my recollection of this event. When faced with trauma the mind's memory makes it fuzzy, as self protection to go on with life, or it did for me.
Dynamics of a Fight
by Krystina Grant
It had been a yelling match at first. The computer room was supposed to get turned into a nursery and the computer desk was supposed to be moved into their room. But help left and she was furious that it didn’t get done. Plus the argument continued on.
“I’m calling my mom!” she said and went to the phone in the computer room.
He tried to stop her and supposedly had pinched his finger. But suddenly he was hitting her back, her shoulders . . . She was too stunned at first, but it wasn’t long before she tried fighting back, but she was facing the computer. The memory was blurry on how, but she was able to get out of the room. However the fight continued. She was no challenge for someone that had been in the military and she struggled against him as much as she could.
Eventually he had her pinned to the floor, holding her still as she cried hysterically. Finally, he let her up. Barely remembering what she said.
“Hit me again and you will never see this baby. The court is not going to give visitation to someone that would hit a woman who is six months pregnant.”
She went to the bed, laid down and cried more. But he never touch her violently again.
