    I had a neighbor like her. When husband passed, she told me, outside on the church steps, that she felt like a bird that had been set free. She has lived happily for the past 20 years.

    What a harrowing sad story. I’m glad things are changing and that if you are being abused there are help lines to get away from an abusive person. The one thing to remember is if you decide to leave, don’t tell the abuser, leave when they’re not around. Get someone or the police to come and take you to safety. Abuse never ends, you can tell yourself that things will change but they don’t , and it’s detrimental to your kids and family if you allow it to continue. I’m so glad that her husband is gone and she is living a life that she should have lived years before.
    Very brave of all who spoke on the vlog and I feel especially sorry for her son who was obviously traumatised by his childhood and tried to switch it off as an adult. So glad he was given a voice. Well done xx 😘

    I'm at a loss for words. I've been in abusive relationships and it is so much more common than people know. I'll never, ever understand treating people with anger, hatred or abuse?
    I'm so THANKFUL she is FREE and finding some JOY in life.

    I know just what she was going through ,I had the same thing ,my husband was interviewed over the murder of a girl which I didn’t know about until he was dead and we we’re divorced,you can’t explain what it’s like unless you’ve been through it . And when you get out it’s a dream ,I’m now 80 and have been married again to a lovely man who has sadly passed away ,So Pat live the rest of your life in a beautiful dream with the love you deserve from your friends and family 🥰🥰🥰

    These stories are hard to hear but very important for those who are in abusive situations and feel afraid to leave. Its great there are good souls who support the abused. We all need to be heard and to be validated. God help all these poor souls who suffer such terror. Its so evil. God bless these poor people and those who help them.

      He acknowledged that - even he looking back understands on one level - yet on another, the fear drilled into him as a child, , ,
      On some subconscious level, he probably believe T and his mother deserved the miss treatment. I think the lovely thing is how much support he’s giving his mother now.

      As a Social Worker, I can tell you there are so many levels, nuances, and psychological effects that go along with being in an abusive relationship that affects how a person deals with leaving a parent with their abuser. A woman leaves on an average of eight times before she leaves for good. Leaving their abuser is also the most dangerous time for a woman. It is the time when she is most likely to be murdered.

    I can’t believe the things that poor woman had to go through. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment I’ve never been in a situation like that but I have heard many different stories, and even little children will try to protect their mother and I’m sure the son was living in fear too, but how was he able to sit there day after day after day seeing your mother being treated that way and he never did anything???

    Why didn't the son do anything when he became an adult. My son is a state trooper and I couldn't imagine he would let his father beat me without stepping in and either giving him a good beating or having him arrested. This son just went on with his life while he knew his mom was being beaten.

    So her son was a police officer while she was still being battered and abused and he was “hoping that his mom wasn’t being abused.” Really? HE’S A COP! With a gun! He was trained on how to handle bad people and he left his mother there to suffer. I know I’m being judgmental, but my mom went through that too with 6 kids in the house. And my brother, the only boy, was 5 years old and he would jump on my father’s back to try to stop him from pounding my mom into a grease spot. Yeah, dad shook him off like he was a pesky fly, but at least he tried. I could see guilt all over his face. Yeah, good. She had to save herself when her son had the ability to do something. Smh

    The son was a coward. He was a policeman who allowed horrific abuse to continue to be put upon her because he did not want to be embarrassed himself, and in the end, everyone knows everything anyway. She could have had so much more life if only he’d not been such a coward and waited for his father to kill himself instead of handling it like a man, and police officer, should.
