In early March my husband and I started having some serious issues. He was struggling with a drug addiction he had recently picked up and didn’t know how to act when he didn’t have it. One day, we had been fighting all day. It was really bad to the point where I almost packed up mine and my sons stuff...

When he got home from work that day I was still there. I decided to be quiet and let him work through his anger. Even with me being quiet he continued to put me down. I needed a break so I went out to smoke a cigarette and when I went to my car realized I didn’t have anymore so I left to the store to get some, leaving my 6 week old with his dad. He started texting me telling me he knew I was going to see another man. When I definitely wasn’t. Then he started saying I better get home because he was going to leave the baby by himself. I rushed home only to find the door was locked and he wouldn’t let me upstairs to get my baby. I was banging on the door for 20-30 minutes when I finally decided to call the cops because I knew at this point he definitely wasn’t in his right mind.

Once he heard me calling the cops he came downstairs opened the door, grabbed my phone and broke it.

I ran upstairs to grab the baby and he was trying to leave. I was blocking the door because the cops were coming.

He got mad I wouldn’t let him leave and slapped me (still holding my 6 week old).

At the time the cops came I wasn’t even going to tell them he hit me. It’s not my first time in an abusive relationship. But when the cops came he started telling them I was hitting him with the baby in my hands and that when he got home from work the baby was home by himself (trying to get him taken away from me) so I ended up telling them. He had a warrant for an unpaid court fine. So they took him for that, along with Domestic assault, child endangerment and obstruction of property (because of my phone). His bond was $30,152 with 10% being $3,152. I got him out the next day. We were put on a no contact order.

Since getting him out, we have actually still been in contact and living together. He is going to anger management and recently got put back on medication for depression. He has also quit doing drugs.

His court date is April 22. I guess I’m really just wondering, is this a sentencing date? I’m terrified. I love him so much I regret ever calling the cops. He is also in America on a work permit that’s only valid until May. Does anyone know if he’ll more than likely get deported? Probation? Jail time? We are only 20 years old. In Nebraska
