Killer among us
I hope women and even some men watch this and realize there is no excuse for abuse. I myself have witnessed what abuse does to the soul. My daughters husband abused her for 4 years, and had promised her father and I that he would get help, to this day we do not know if he just lied about tgetting help or infact never went to the scheduled appts. but we did not find out about the abuse till in the 4th year of marriage he was really good at hiding the marks as was my daughter. Finally it came to when we found out, and on that last day she called and we took her to a lawyer and she started divorce proceedings, she and her little boy are so much better off because she choose to end this insanity to protect herself and her son. This has not been a decision taken lightly and without some hardships and heartache. But she and her 5yr. old son have made thier place in life with no help, child support medical coverage ect. from him, but have a happy healthy home, she is in law school full time and works full time. she will someday look back and pat herself on the back for havig the courage to end the insanity. I feel on that last day had she not come to us and had we not went with her back to the marital home to escourt him out he would have killed her as when we walked into the home with her he ws setting on the floor with a baseball bat on his lap and this was not during baseball season. I just thank the lord that she loved herself her son and us enough to ask us to help her. I emplore men and women alike to take all the information to heart, gather the courage to end the insanity of a situation like this. Sad to say there is about as many men in this situation as women but we never hear about them as they are imbarrassed to admit this is happening but infact it does.
