fending off an abusive spouse
get out now, cause, if he hit you once, he'll do it again, don't even risk it, you see how this movie would have ended and it was a true story
shareAgreed. I was very briefly in an abusive relationship and this is true! They will do it again.
And emotional abuse often accompanies the physical abuse. No one deserves to be treated like that.
"A Grandmother Fred?! An aunt called George??
You HAVE got problems, D.M.!"
Oh my gosh! I hate that Jimmy guy! I feel so bad for that young woman, Katie and also for her children. No woman should go through that. They should leave as soon as they experience even one warning sign of abuse before it gets out of hand... Seeing people with bruises makes me cry all the time. If my family member let the family down if I told and if my neighbor accues me of interfering in her marriage, Oh well. Well at least I'd be doing my part in situations like these. So, if you know anyone who is going through some rough moments in their lives, you step in and help no matter what happens instead of ignoring it for any reason at all.
