I’ve received an email from an American, who has given me clearance to publish it in full, along with names. We have not edited the piece. He is seeking donations to help fund a legal appeal, you can find a link to his website at the end of his message.

My name is Andrew L Goss. I have been married almost 20 years to the same woman. We have 8 children together. She has been verbally and physically abusive for at least the last decade or so.

In 2009, she was arrested for trying to stab me to death in front of our minor children. She was given a 1 year probation and ordered to undergo anger management. She was kept out of the home for a year due to a restrictive protection order. After roughly 1 year, I allowed her back in the home because she appeared to have changed quite a bit as a result of her anger-management classes and the shock of losing her family.

The change was short-lived.

In 2015, she was arrested again for felony enhanced domestic violence. Again she was removed from the home due to a protective order. I have had primary custody of the kids since 03.10.2015. I filed for divorce. We just had a custody hearing in front of Judge Larry Noll in San Antonio, TX. Judge Noll only allowed 30 minutes for each side to make their arguments, in a case that involved 8 children, 20 years of married, and two felony domestic violence arrests.

On October 21, 2016, in the middle of Domestic Violence Awareness month, Judge Noll had the audacity to rule that, as a man, I could not possibly had a fear of my wife, therefore I could not possibly have been a victim of domestic violence. Judge Noll ruled that the children be yanked away from the stable environment that I have provided for them, and be given to their violent and abusive mother.

I am not a weak punk. I was simply raised that it was not right to hit a woman, so I didn’t. I did what the government told me. I did what my schools told me. I did what my mother told me. At the end of the day, Judge Larry Noll basically said that women have a right to abuse men, and men have no legal complaint when they do.

This may sound made up, but it is not. You can verify everything that I have said. I have posted public records at Judge Larry Noll Rules That Men Cannot Be Victims of Domestic Violence.
