My mother claimed i hit her in a hospital; we were sitting side by side and i had asked her to leave after her calling my wife various names. The last time she called her a name I, holding my 18 month old, shifted my weight quickly and intended to point my finger at her and tell her to leave again. Instead, not recognizing the distance betwwen us ( i was facing the other direction while she was saying these things), caught her on the cheek, not leaving any marks. She had me arrested and charged with simple assault, domestic. A week later, she called me at work and asked me to come over. I recorded the conversation. There, she said that if me and my wife would sign a contract giving her custody of the kids for 48hours/week, she would testify that I did not hit her, that it was an accident.
