[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your story is a little fishy as you wouldn't have been charged without some sort of evidence of you being violent (i.e. broken door, bruises/scratches on your ex BF, etc.).[/quote]

It's right in the OP that she was arrested for fighting back...[/quote]

Well for all we know "abusive ex" = wouldn't let me sleep over at my male friend's houses alone and "fighting back" = he grabbed my wrist so I smashed a dinner plate over his head.

99% of DV calls the cops are arresting and charging the man, so I stand by my earlier assertion that something about OP's story is fishy.[/quote]

Op here - I don't need to defend myself on whether or not he was abusive. There was a witness that yes, saw me hit him first in this instance because he had backed me into a corner and was reminding me how much of a waste of space I was. What they did not see was the many times he would kick me out of our apartment when I wasn't working, or when he would tell me I was worthless, and push me to the point where I had alienated myself from my parents, and contemplated suicide. Does that make you feel better to know, pp?[/quote]
OP if you really want this job, you have to get your story straight. Your OP said you were “fighting back” which means someone was fighting you. What you’ve posted above just says your boyfriend cornered you and you hit him. You don’t have to explain it here - but you need to be prepared to explain, without emotion or conjecture what happened. Since you are working with a lawyer to expunge the case, ask them to draft a statement that you can use if you need to discuss your charge.

Good luck.[/quote]
