One time I came home to a sad looking 4 yr old boy in my yard when I came home, I asked what's wrong. My ex decided to grab him by his ear and leave it bleeding because he wouldn't cross the road of a busy street because he was scared of the heavy traffic as it wasn't an intersection with lights. Anyhow, I confront her and she grabs a knife and charges me screaming and swinging it around like a lunatic. I gave her a solid kick to the knee and another to the torso for good measure, disarm her of the knife. The cops are then called by her for abuse, female officer arrives, I bolt and I'm the bad guy. Police almost ALWAYS take the women's side.
