Friends husband strangled her while in blackout.
...And now, the worthless P.o.S. is sitting in jail...
Saturday night, they had a party for his mothers birthday. New house, tent, beautiful table cloths and centerpieces. Everything placed just so. The are Mexican so even a 8 piece Mariachi band was present.
Tequila flowed like water, as is often the case in these types of events.
My friend put her 5 year old down to bed and decided to cuddle with her rather than rejoining the party. She had had enough to drink. And this woman CAN DRINK. frightening amounts. They own a Mexican restaurant. And they are always drinking.
About an hour after she falls asleep, with company still present, drunk bastard goes into the room and proceeds to strangle her, infront of her 5 year old. She awakes, tries to fight him off, unsuccessfully. She passes out.
Something brings her back to consciousness. But he wasn't done with her.
Chokes her. AGAIN to unconsciousness. WHILE THE PARTY IS STILL GOING ON.
Screaming at her this was her fault for disrespecting him.
What finally gets him to stop is their daughter screaming and pleading with him "Poppa please stop hurting mommy !!!!!!!".
None of us even knew there were problems. Come to find out, he's diabetic and when he drinks, he gets violent. This has been going on for more than a year.
He remembers none of it. None. Not a moment.
They are the picture of a perfect happy home.
Not anymore.
He'll be charged with attempted murder tomorrow.
Alcohol.
