Hi all... I just thought this would be a good chance for a discussion, I was talking to a lady I see every day on the bus thismorning and she was telling me about her daughter. Her Daughter has been living with this man for eight years (they've been married for the last two) and only recently has she found out that her daughters husband has been abusing her. He broke almost all of her ribs and cracked her head open once when he was beating her with an iron, ... he hits her regularly with the ironing board.... she is constantly in fear of being beaten... just three days ago they fell out because she wanted to go for a drink with her friends - he slammed her thumb in the door and somehow managed to rip it clean off!! She has left him now and moved back in with her mother, she only has a few belongings and has lost her house and job because of this. His parents are now phoning her saying "what kind of wife are you to our son - you're running away after a little tiff"!!!!!!! I said to the mum she ought to get her daughter to press charges against him - what do you think? My sister went through a very similar thing and I wish she had pressed charges against him - but never did. Having never been in this situation myself I don't know what it would really be like.......... any comments on this?
(sorry if I seem a little "detatched talking about this, but it gets me soooo unbelievably mad I try real hard to stay calm... personally I would like to kill the *"$!%*&!!
