Domestic violence charge - ABH
My ex is on a charge of ABH with a weapon (a hot iron). We had been arguing and he picked up the iron and threatened me with it and burnt my hand enough to get a full thickness burn requiring a skin graft. He was arrested and charged with ABH with a weapon.
He had never been physically violent with me before and we have 2 young children together. I do not want him to go to prison as it will cause my family to suffer more and i have withdrawn my statement and support for the prosecution although they (the CPS)are still proceding.
If I said that I caused it/made hime do it so I could get him out of the house would that get me into trouble? I just want my family to get on with our lives and put it behind us. I don't want to get back with him however I don't want to tell my children that their father is going to prison.

Thank you for all the responses however I probably did not make myself understood. My ex has been charged with ABH however during this bad time I could not take any more of his behaviour and when threatened I took matters into my own hands as I could not live with him anymore. My question was, would I be in trouble.
I have tried through retracting my statement and writing a confession to the CPS as well as a statement to the police stating that I did this to myself. They are still proceding with this case - I cannot have him go to prison for something that he did not do.
Any sensible advice would be welcome.
