The little girl was braver than her mother. I would have left the jerk the minute he became abusive, but I understand it's easy for some to get up the courage to leave, they might be afraid or they don't/can't leave for other reasons.
Sweet Sharlee! In my first marriage it took me the better part of 4 years to leave my abusive husband, and to file for divorce. Sometimes it is very hard to let go of the 'dream' of it all. Then again, I was 18, and I really did "marry for life"- It was hard for me to get past that also. But I digress.
This woman apparently is NOT married to this guy, (not that it makes a difference- just that it should be easier to dissolve this relationship). Still, the more I think about this, the angrier I get. And most especially where her daughter is concerned! This [apparently] is NOT the first time this little girl has stabbed this man as he attacked her mother!
Annie, you were young when you got married. I was about the same age as you when you left your husband when I married mine. I understand how hard it must be to let go of a dream.
I was "engaged" when I was 19 to someone who I couldn't wait to get away from. I didn't accept his proposal, but he told everyone we were engaged. I used to have nightmares that I was forced into marriage and I couldn't see the guy's face because it was always blurry. I took that as an omen telling me that I was in a relationship I shouldn't be in.
BTW, I guess I had a sense of humor in my dreams, because I eventually was able to see in my dream who the guy was...it was Harry Morgan, the old guy from Dragnet. LOL
Sweets; I was 18- by one month and 3 days. 5 years later the divorce was final. (The marriage was over LONG before that).
I am laughing out loud- truly- that you were engaged to Morgan!!!! Somewhere I have a photo of my dad that look just like Morgan -as he looked in M*A*S*H* anyway.
Whatever happened after you got rid of him? Or is he STILL hanging around? hehehe
I guess I was lucky when Larry (the guy who insisted we were engaged) didn't give me any grief when I told him I wouldn't marry him and I wanted to break up with him. I think probably because he was afraid of my dad, who could be very mean when he wanted to. And, no he's not hanging around, I'm in California and I'm assuming he's still in Missouri.

ReplyDeleteHang on a second Sweet Shar, and I will reply-
As an aside, for more about me when I was younger, my marriages, my kids, etc..
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much of this woman's history would match mine as she ages...
XOXO
