How often do you hear about domestic violence at your end, it is pretty common here, and although there is so much more awareness than we use to have before now, it is still a very common practice. Yesterday, I heard about a guy who is scared of rats but beats his girlfriend to support him, it was very funny and so I thought to share it with you, my friends. No one should have to go through any form of abuse, I mean life is even too stressful on its own to now add the stress of someone else beating you.
There is a pretty young lady who stays close to my sister's house, my sister said she heard sounds of beating from her room sometime last year and the lady was calling for help, so she ran to the door and began to bang the door which was locked preventing anyone access into it, she kept on knocking until the guy stopped beating her as she threatened to call the police if he doesn't stop. After some time, the lady ran out with blisters all over her body and ran into my sister's arm, she took her into her own room, cleaned her up, and asked her to lie down and get some rest. When she woke up, she told my sister about how the guy had an anger issue and how he had been beating her like that for years, my sister advised her to end the relationship pending the time that he would seek help, so he doesn't hurt her.
The funny thing is, the man drove out after beating her and according to the lady, he always walks away after descending on her and he wouldn't even come home for weeks sometimes months after that. His friends and family members will then call her to apologize on his behalf and ask her to accept him back, he has been doing this for some time and he had never seen a reason to apologize after beating her, he claims she is the one always pushing him to anger. After my sister spoke some sense into her head, she gathered the courage to break up with him and the two ladies became friends, she tells my sister things about the relationship, and just like she said before, the young man didn't call her but his family members and friends called her. However, after around three weeks, my sister began to notice changes in her attitude towards her, she even stopped telling her things like before, and before we knew what was going on, the guy was back in the house, this, of course, caused a complete separation between my sister and the lady in question told the guy everything my sister spoke to her about.
While my sister was worried for her, she knew it was best for her to stay away, and mind her business which was of course, a very difficult decision to make. About one month later, everyone thought on maybe he has changed and he was not going to beat her anymore until my sister got back from work one day to find her neighbor sitting outside with blisters all over her body and once again with the guy gone. She couldn't watch her helpless and cold outside, so she took her in and helped her clean up and of course get better, but she was wise to watch her words this time, while the lady consistently asked her for advice, she asked her to seek professional help.
Just like you guessed, he came back again and they made up. The lady is obviously still with him because he has some money, he is doing well financially, and when my sister even advised her to get a job doing so she could take care of herself, she said she wasn't built for stress, The funny thing was the story I heard yesterday, they found a rat in their apartment and the guy ran out of the house leaving the young lady behind, the lady who was although scared, had to summon courage to kill the rat, after I heard the story, the next thing that came to my mind was, oh you cannot kill a rat, but you can beat a lady you claim to love until she faints.
I feel sorry for her but then I am questioning my feelings because I wonder why she has refused to work for her money and has decided to tolerate abuse simply because of material value. Thought to share and read beautiful comments from enlightened minds, appreciate your time.
