Should've listened to the attorney.

Of course she is, that's part of the cycle of abuse. If she was actually sorry, it wouldn't happen.

>About 6 months into the relationship, i find myself physically attacked. Oh right, i forgot to mention she's a recovering alcoholic. The angry kind. I've had to call the cops on her several times and the ambulance once. I've stopped her from cutting herself and had to intervene when she recently tried to stab herself to death in front of me because I expressed an interest in leaving the relationship due to all the unnecessary fighting. But she attacks me as well. I have bite marks on my arms and forehead. I have a broken pinky finger. I have scars from her clawing at me. I've never once laid a hand on her to hurt her. Not once. I've only ever stopped her from hurting herself or I've defended myself. The cops and paramedics have always been on my side.

What the actual fuck are you doing staying in the relationship?
