Sherman T. Williams

I used to hear the phrase, "They need a new word for that." But I will tell you the amount of loathing that I have for this man, I will never forget.

Let's start with how he was sweet to me for about the first two years. Then, when he went off the Lithium (I did not know he took.) He started beating me.

After the first two, I called my father. He heard it in the background, but didnt get off the couch because he said I probably deserved it. I had actually called my mother's phone but she was in bed.

But, after that I locked all the doors in the second room. I was between jobs and no car, and it was well after 2 a.m.

Cops came around 3 a.m. and they said I was under arrest for assault. At that point, I had been curled under the covers and bruises all over my body.

He has called them and said I threatened him.

He ended up getting off free, even though the bruises matched perfectly to fingers on my forearms, a swollen eye and a bruise on my neck.

He had none. But was at no fault.

Chained behind my back, I heard the officer say, "She was the one who should have called."
