Suicide gone wrong

Well not the worst ‘gone wrong’ story of suicide survival out there but my life is definitely spiraling into out of control havoc now.
Was supposed to drown in the Iowa River, shortly before the dam and what is commonly called a drowning machine.
I’ve endured too much verbal abuse, financial abuse, and mental abuse from my separated parents that I simply couldn’t take it on top of my complex ptsd. So I left Sunday morning. I stopped at the gas station to buy liquid courage to give me the boot in the ass to drown myself. Unfortunately the police were called, and my father (one of my main and biggest abusers) was notified. He pulled my location from me being on the phone plan and him being a provider of that. So he found me first.
Instead of starting my car and driving straight into the embankment, or even booking it on foot. All I could think about was getting away from him. I couldn’t deal with more verbal abuse, not right then and there. I sped away in my shitty old car, with him in my tail in his new Audi. I spun out only 3 minutes later. Totaled my car. Bystanders who parked bear witness to his high-all-mighty attempts at spinning his own story and the lies that followed afterward. I was tackled face first into the ground by my 190 pound father, after I was trying to get back into my vehicle to safely be away. I broke my right wrist in the ordeal, and have many bruises. I now am impending a OWI in my state. I will go to jail even as a first time offender- although it was not in my plans to start my vehicle once I was parked by the river. Although that doesn’t matter because I ultimately did, and my crashing could’ve harmed many.
I’m much more determined to be successful in my next attempt.
Life is wild. I’m tired of wild.

Holy shit! And of course, the police have no idea that they did the absolute worst thing they could by notifying your abuser where you were.

The cops are always well-intentioned in their actions, but they aren't paid to think. They're only paid to enforce existing laws which of course cops don't make.
@swirlie I know. That's why I said they have no idea they did the wrong thing. Because they did the thing they had to do, legally.

@Classy I don't know if you're in a position to do this, but can you find a way to distance yourself from your father?

I believe she was trying to distance herself from her father when he was chasing her down the road with his car! That's how this whole incident got started in the first place!

In all seriousness, because she is over 16 years of age, she can legally have a Restraining order placed on her father by the Courts, who can legally restrict his physical access to her by as much as 3 miles in all directions. If the cops stop her again and he's violated that Court Order by being anywhere on the scene, he goes to jail, not her.
@Classy How about that idea? Would that help?

@LordShadowfire before not so much. I was propositioned by my father to come home to go to back to college for ‘free.’ What a joke in the end. I was paying for college. Not only that but utterly financially abused and verbally so whenever he wanted. I was stuck living with him until I graduated. Christmas break rolled around. Then everything went down. After the accident there was no going home to him, or to my mother who also exacerbated this. I’m now a state away, and unfortunately a restraining order doesn’t cross state lines. I couldn’t do it before, and now there is no reason to file one now.
@Classy Wait, you're a state away and he crossed state lines to come to you?
