I finally did the right thing for me and my daughter.

I am an abused husband, yes we exist. My wife has been raging and hitting me for the last couple years... and it's escalated. Yesterday she trashed my house, scratched me all up real good, all this in front of my daughter.

Today I did the only thing I knew to do- I filed a police report for domestic battery. The police have issued a warrant for her and she's going to be picked up at work shortly.

So here I am, a 38 year old single dad to a two-year-old toddler. I have a 15 year old good girl who is frail and is probably seeing her last winter, and also have a two-year-old German Shepherd who is a handful.

I don't have any family in Indianapolis, I really don't have any family at all. I was raised by the state of Tennessee, and don't have anyone to fall back on.

Does anybody have any suggestions for where to turn to next? Does anybody have a Thanksgiving dinner you might want to kick down to me and my daughter? We were planning to go to my wife's aunties house for Thanksgiving but I suppose that's out of the question now.

I appreciate any advice, or any pets on my head. Whatever you got for me. I'm feeling pretty lonely right now. Thanks everyone!

Edit: because it's Thanksgiving the domestic abuse charges won't be filed until Monday. As result the police and CPS just let the woman who's been beating me walk out of here with my daughter. I have no idea where they're going. I'm crushed, I never thought this would happen. I should have just took the ass whooping and not call the police.

Edit again: it's weird that this made the front page. My shame for the whole world to see. I think I've read every comment and I appreciate all of them. CPS didn't take my girl this morning, but they did allow my wife to take her despite everything. I also did not allow that guy from CPS to strip my daughter in front of the police and take pictures of her, I think that pissed him off.

Tldr? Don't ever involve the police. Live with it or leave, but don't ask for help if your a guy.
