Women and Girls Suffering in Silence Because of Fear

#Domestic Violence

This is the story of every female, both young and older who is in a relationship with someone who abuses them physically and sexually; and torments them psychologically.

When Help Comes Too Late or Never Comes

These are the sad souls of females who lives in a prison locked behind the corridors of fear of their captor, suffering in silence. Many of whom have children who are affected by the violence within their environment. These women know if they expose the person who they fear, they will suffer a harsh punishment that could result in the loss of a child, their own life, or both.

Children living in domestic violence are affected with unhappy memories that cannot be erased.

From the Story: Life with Father

“Life with my father was a time of which I have no good memories. The one thing that often comes to my mind when I think of my father is the day he showed me a gun and said, I am going to kill your mother with this.” the son of a battered woman.

Violent Man Ordered to Marry Girlfriend

A judge has ordered a 25-year-old man who was convicted of punching his girlfriend in the mouth, to marry her within nine months or risk being jailed. The judged stated, "I happen to believe in traditional values: boy meets girl, boy ask girl out, boy and girl go steady, boy and girl get married, and then, the boy and girl start having a family." The man pleaded no contest to domestic violence.

The judge gave the 25-year-old man a suspended four months sentence, fined him $100, placed him on nine months' probation, and ordered him to undergo counseling.

Weakness in the Justice System

We need stronger laws to protect women and children against sexual and violent acts committed against them.This is a worldwide problem.

Questions:

1. Should the judge have ordered this man to marry his girlfriend?
2. How do you feel about the judge's thoughts on relationships?

Woman Plans to Marry the Man Who Battered Her

A 23-year-old female who has been stabbed repeatedly, arms broken with a hammer by her boyfriend who is also, 23- years -of -age, plans are to marry him in spite of attempts to murder her.

A 34-year-old man beat his 33-year-old wife until she became unconscious; then, placed her in the trunk of a car, and drove to another state where he admitted her into a hospital; she remain in a  coma.

It is easy to get involved in such relationships; but it is difficult to get out. Some women never get out, despite a restraining order.  A woman was murdered in the presence of police officers by her husband, who disregarded the restraining order she had against him. Her husband confronted her at a shopping center; when the police officers arrived, she pleaded with them to save her life; the man ignored the officers commands to put his gun down. Instead, he shot her several times killing her, and then took his own life.

Some women make bold statements such as what they will not take from a man. That is easier said than done. One can end up sleeping with their enemy. (The one whom they have a relationship with)

In the novel “The Price We Must Pay For Our Father’s Sins” when Priscilla informed her husband Jim, she was going to divorce him, she realized a divorce would be useless, because he was never going to allow her to be free from him.

It is impossible to know the mind of any one. A person can appear to be a very loving individual, and actually hate the one who love them.
