I have experienced Intimate Partner Violence over a twenty-one year period. When I called the police finally in August 2021, the young constable took my audiostatement down on an Iphone. Then, he claimed he’d lost it. I was never notified by the police as to its loss, nor was I asked to replace it. I filed a complaint eventually with OIRPD asking why I was not told of this loss, why I was not asked to replace it as the perpetrator, my husband, got off the assault charge. The police have ignored me, the OIRPD has ignored my questions as did the Crown Attorney. You see now why women stay in abusive relationships. My husband is now as a result, seeking to divorce me at the age of eighty-seven and eighty-six claiming that he never once assaulted me in all the years of our marriage when in fact he did so three times.
