this is reality Sandra. I know of a person who is a battered wife..And it is sometimes the fault of a wife herself, because she is a nagger.Now, she become a battered and bitter wife to her husband and to her friends.. It pays to be having a one and one communication..

it's a nightmare when the one who's supposed to love and protect you is the one who's doing this to you...women should be empowered in every level (financially, politically, mentally/emotionally, spiritually, physically, morally, legally) so that she can prevent this from happenning, and if it does, that she feels safe and powerful enough to leave the situation...

Gosh Sandra. This really hits hard with the truth of what happens. Trouble is, women don't always ask for help as they are ashamed. Great Seyru. 10 love Karin
