You are a hero!!!
You have escaped with your life. The perpetrator won't be in prison for very long, so if you can hide yourself in another city--do so! Get a fresh start. Change your name.
I married a wife beater in the temple, and he almost killed me. He had a secret history of assault, and his family did not tell me. He was a RM, and a close relative to a GA, and his family seemed nice. I knew him only a few months. He fooled my family, too. When I left him, I was afraid for my life, and for the safety of my family members. He stalked me, and he did visit my family, but my brother was bigger and meaner, and he frightened the cowardly wife-beater. I did move to another city, and got a great job there, and was happy to be free. I let the thug keep everything I owned, except my car, and job clothes.
It's not worth the risk, to try to get your belongings back!
I have permanent damage to my jaw and my hearing, from blows to the head, and I have PTSD. You have been through Hell, and I hope you realized that you saved those children! If you have depression or anxiety, or nightmares and fears, please see a good therapist, OK?
WTG! My hero!
The Mormon singles scene is definitely crazy. I have had friends find someone on other dating websites, though. Just be sure to do a background check. Part of one of my first jobs was to do background checks on prospective employees, so I knew how to do this. You wouldn't believe the bad histories some of the Mormon men had. Also, divorce records are public records, on file in the county in which the divorce took place. Read them, before you date someone! Two friends of mine read that their TBM fiancees had beaten their first wife. One friend's husband beat her, but she stayed with him until their children were grown--and she was unhappy her entire life. The other friend married her abusive divorced man, because he was a doctor, and a High Priest, and he wanted to go on missions, and travel all over the world. When he beat her, her son attacked the husband, and the children moved out of the house, back to their old house, owned by their father. They lived alone, for the rest of high school. Three of them got on drugs, and one got married and moved away. Of the three on drugs, two committed suicide, and the third is in rehab.
With the above things happening in the middle of my life, I decided to concentrate on my children, and not waste any time or thought on the Mormon dating scene. I was still TBM, and the Mormons always tried to set me up on blind dates, and push me to "get out there and date," but I refused. Best decision I ever made.
