Q: Can you be a primary aggressor and a victim in the same domestic violence case ?
I was under a tpo from a prior domestic violence with the same person . while at work the mother of my child came up to my job and left our infant daughter after making a scene . she leaves and eventually proceeds to come back acting even more irrational hitting me and stuff .. I get my child put her in her car tossed her the diaper bag containing ONLY onsies a few diapers and wipes .. She continues tp hit me so i go inside my job and call police .. I explain to them we arent supposed to have no contact with each other and tell them what happend .. We both were arrested i for simple battery FV for throwing her the diaper bag .. She for battery Fv for hitting me .. How is this possible .?? How come i was arrested i was at work and she admitted to hitting me .. And she violated the TPO that she took out ! Shouldn't she have been charged with violating the order ?? How was it simple battery by tossing her the bag ? P.s. the officer wrote i tossed it hit her stomach n the content inside

The answer to your question is yes. That being said, you need to contact an attorney as soon as possible who can assist you with the specifics of your circumstances.
