Will charges be dismissed ?

They pick up whether you press or not if they have a report and pictures. But why would you want to back down? It's only going to escalate! Next time you might not get out alive. Don't go there with the pity thing. It's the clic abuser's game, "Baby I didn't mean to go that far. You just made me mad." It's not anything you did. There is nothing another human being does to deserve abuse. You can't fix him but you can fix you. Value yourself!
