HDD Faulty

I had a friend who's husband kicked her in the stomach and she lost her first child. Can't have children anymore. A few years later he hit her in the eye and split her cornea open. she is now blind in that eye. He regularly throws her around the house. It is no laughing matter and any so called "man" who jokes about it is a pathetic animal with no balls. Hitting a woman just proves that you are no better than a dog.

Mmm, under the circumstances, we take heed of your reactions. Poor chick, someone should "take care" of this oke ...
 
I wasn’t making a joke as this is no joking matter, so she had nowhere to go? You would not have taken her in to assist her to get out of the abusive relationship, her parents, her church, nobody? She was unable to physically leave the house? There are a lot of thing I do not know about this person, but I do know that if you decide not to take someone’s **** anymore there are a lot of things you can do, it all depends on the sacrifices you are willing to make.

I didn't know her at that time. Only met her three years ago on the internet. Her family had a vague idea because of the medical procedures and physical damage. But it is a vicious psychological prison that the abused person finds themselves in. As someone said, unless you have been there yourself you cannot understand. She was in a bind between trying to make her family look good, to appear to be the successful corporate wife, to try and "save" the man she loved from this destructive behaviour, all the while battling alcoholism herself. It is a long road of despair between should I stay and fix it, or should I give up and go. Then at the end it turns out 14 years is not a long time, but it was long enough for her to get beat up pretty often and acquire the battered wife syndrome...

In lay terms, this is a reference to any person who, because of constant and severe domestic violence usually involving physical abuse by a partner, becomes depressed and unable to take any independent action that would allow him or her to escape the abuse. The condition explains why abused people often do not seek assistance from others, fight their abuser, or leave the abusive situation. Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often believe that the abuse is their fault. Such persons usually refuse to press criminal charges against their abuser, and refuse all offers of help, often becoming aggressive or abusive to others who attempt to offer assistance. Often sufferers will even seek out their very abuser for comfort shortly after an incident of abuse.

You are right, I don’t understand it and it depends on personality types I guess. I will pay money to see that @$$hole get some of his own medicine, people should learn to love themselves more, then these things will only happen once.
