Rob Knight abused by ex-wife suffered years of alcoholic abuse
My name is Rob Knight.
I have suffered years of domestic abuse from my ex wife as she is an alcoholic. I have been arrested twice and locked up for ten hours in a police cell for nothing. I am now facing a possible charge of ABH for the second time although I don’t see her for weeks on end. The first time was last year she called the police saying that I had hurt her and once she had another detox she told the police that it was all lies. The second time was yesterday morning at 4 am the police were banging at my door as she had told them I had hit her , I have not seen her for weeks. Infact I am living out of cardboard wardrobe boxes and my clothes are in storage boxes and living at a friends house for the moment.
My four year old daughter was sleeping at the time and was told I would be home by 7am. I did not get out until tea time. the police gave my daughter to the mother who was clearly drunk, form the police cell I called the child protection team who were not very helpful. She took my daughter home and just passed out leaving my daughter to fend for herself. Her older brother alerted my child minder who took my daughter in.
Later that day she was hospitalised at it was found that she had taken prescribed medication to overdose yet again and was six times over the drink driving limit should she be driving. She is facing a possible prison sentence next month as last year she was found with uk’s highest alcohol reading ever she was placed on a suspended sentence at the time and a community order.
Well she drove again this time with my daughter in the car this month I alerted the police and she was arrested for a breach of the order. She told me on Sunday that she wanted to make me lose my job as I rely on a clean criminal record to be able to perform my duties as I am a housing related support officer. She is constantly harassing me on a daily basis but the police are not really interested they just say change my phone numbers which I have done twice over the years.
It is so wrong that given her history she can just phone up the police drunk and say anything and I have to suffer this trauma every time.
Can you help me with any advice?
thanks
Paul Hopkins his Story of abuse of the legal system by his now ex-wife
My name is Paul Hopkins I am a loving father of two wonderful children, a boy 11 and a girl 12, who after the absolute hell that their mother has put the three of us through, they both chose to live with me and CAFCASS and the Family Courts in Coventry agreed I would be able to take better care of the children and gave me full residence ie full legal custody. We are now divorced and I divorced her for adultery, meaningless in law but it gave me a little bit of satisfaction.
Three years ago, and the week before Christmas I had taken my children out shopping for ‘christmas presents!’ I was infact temporarily staying with a friend, as we were separating and I was due to move back into the family home after Christmas and she was to have moved into a new house, or so I believed! The agreement was that she would keep the children, but that I would have regular weekly contact two or three days a week (this is in brief).
Anyway we were out shopping and one of the presents was a remote control car which I had brought for my son, we went back to the house where I went in to put the batteries on charge. Entering the house I went to go to the toilet which was ensuite in the master bedroom. Unfortunately the curtains were drawn and the lights were out, I opened the door to find Helen in bed with someone I now know as Lee Steemson from Derby ( a third rate neanderthal rugby player, who played rugby for Derby City Rugby Club ). He immediately jumped out of bed ‘completely naked’ attacked me breaking my nose, being in the dark I didn’t see him lunge at me and punch me until I came round a second or two later finding myself partially down the stairs where I had fortunately hit my back against the upright of the stairs ( otherwise I would have fell backwards possibly breaking my neck).
Lee steemson had attacked me completely unprovoked, I was dazed and with a blooded nose he went to puch me again, but by this time Helen who also was completely naked was trying to stop Lee Steemson from continuing his attack. Dazed, I fell backwards grabbing anything I could to stop myself falling which happened to be the arm of my ex wife, we both fell but as I was fully dressed and wearing a thick winter coat and she was naked guess who ended up with a few scratches! Unfortunately she fell awkwardly (medical evidence and her own testimony agreed with this), which caused a minor fracture of her fore arm, it was this break which allowed the Police to say it was GBH (grievous Bodily Harm Section 18 (with intent) or section 20 Assault.
I was charged with Section 18 Assault, which if convicted has a MINIMUM 4 years imprisonment even for a first offence, as GBH with intent is such a serious offence where only the most violent menaces to society are charged, what is even more disturbing is that Section 18 Assault is usually only used where a weapon is involved and there is premeditated intent to do physical bodily harm to someone. I went to the Police station, still with my children, where I was arrested and charged with GBH, I was not able to see my children for over a year, the courts even ruled that if I so much as phoned them or even went to meet them at their school I would be arrested.
I was at the time a local leader in the Cubs (with no criminal record), they were fully aware of what had happened and the severity of the charges but as I was a well respected member of the Scouting Association and liked and respected by the 8 to 10 year old cubs, they had no problem with me continuing in my position. This is currently the brief explanation, keep coming back for further enhancements.

Dont be a victim, learn your rights, as a man you dont have many so be careful?
My two are now 16 and 17 and still living with me, while their mother now lives in shame in Inverness Scotland, well I say shame, she has none shes just gettin on with her life and thankfully leaving me to develop my two into the rounded (albeit nightmare Teenmonsters that they have become) young adults and all thanks to my endeavours they have come through it. My daughter is now in 6th form and planning to go to University while my son is planning to go to 6th form and then onto University and possibly one or both will follow me into my storage boxes and bubblewrap packaging company.
