I live in New York State. My wife is unemployed (has been for a year and a half). No kids. She's an immigrant (South Korea) and I'm a U.S. citizen. Neither of us has a criminal record. My wife has always had a temper, but her abuse has escalated to the point where she has threatened to buy a gun and kill me. She scratched my face and hands last night and threatened to call the police and tell them I beat her. She called 911 twice on her cell phone last night and hung up immediately but pretended to cry and tell them I beat her in order to scare me. I don't really know what to do. She is much smaller than me, obviously, and I know in cases of domestic violence the police have a tendency to favor women. I have sound recordings of her being belligerent and yelling hysterically and photos of the scratches on my hands and face. My biggest concern, of course, is that if I go to the police with all this stuff I'll wind up being the one arrested. I should mention she has no cuts, bruises, or anything, but I doubt that would matter much if she cries in front of them. What can I do? I'm very scared and very tired.
