As I sit and write this – I cannot but feel as heavy-hearted as the stone sink we bought – for all these women/friends who have/have had abusive relationships and still continues to be abused as I write. As clear as paper to you and I – they seems to not see it – that they need to leave such abusive relationship. And as a friend – you want to help them by talking some sense into them – but where do one begin especially when they are just friends.
I’m grateful that I’ve found someone who would never be abusive towards me or my child – but I cannot say the same for some of the men – we have back home – for I myself – have seen abusive relationship myself. My sister’s ex-husband was an abusive man too – not only was he verbally abusive – he was physically abusive too. But no matter what i said or how i tried to help – she never left him – till she met another men. I was young then – and didn’t think it was right that she was having an affair when she was still married – but now that I’m 45 – well, i see it altogether in different light. I am not saying it was right but if it’s the only thing that would save your sanity then do it!
