You did not mess up. Drinking that ends up with violence is why there are jails. People who do not know better and need to be caged to protect those that beat their "loved ones". This is not something that will play well in front of a judge.You are not going to get the opportunity to say this in open court, and probably not smart to say it at all. The national pulse on domestic violence is not offering high tolerance, either.
If your man drinks and beats you, he should and will spend time behind bars. Civilized societies are set up to protect people from this behavior. Routine drunken violence can and does lead to more than cuts and bruises, it will escalate until the results worsen and even death. You are in an unhealthy situation and the sooner you recognize that your feelings for him are a dependency that is never going to get better. You deserve better than to expect to be beaten. Get away while you can, get help and find someone that can be in a relationship that is void of violence.
