I'm liking the way GH is incorporating the FAMILY theme these last few months! Sam is interacting with Alexis and her sisters. Dante is interacting with his siblings, etc.
The only reason Kristina said it was Ethan was because of the friendship between Luke and Sonny otherwise if she had said to Alexis or Sonny Kiefer would have be been killed by Sonny or his enforcers but Kristina lied to Alexis and Sonny but she could have told the truth to Dante or Lucky it takes another beating by Kiefer for the truth to come out! And following Keifers death by accident of course!! I don’t blame Sonny for his reaction to Kristina saying it was Ethan! But the truth a lot of abuse victims do say it is someone else that beat them and not the actual person who beat them in the first place
Fellow GH Fans: We understand the discussion and everything that everyone have expressed regarding Kristina's abuse situation and why is difficult to understand why she decided to lie to the authorities. The truth of the matter is that throughout this storyline what the writers were trying to do via Kristina's abuse situation was to give us a picture into the reality of Domestic Violence or what is like to be in an abusive relationship. Unfortunately, they fell short by a long shot. Let's explain, more often than not victims of abuse don't have the strength or the will power to leave or to stand up to their abusers for different reasons. That is why in most cases the abuser gets away with it. The type of abuse inflicted into victims of domestic violence or any other type of abuse goes from emotional, psychological, physical, financial, mental and sometimes is directed to the love ones of the victims to keep the victim under the abuser's control. That is precisely the whole point behind the abuse, to control the person that is been abused. The writers failed to show us the real reason behind Kiefer's behavior and why Kristina was so determined to stay in that unhealthy relationship. So, to say that Kristina could have walked away or just accused her boyfriend to the authorities or asked for help or just tell somebody what was happening it's an oversimplification of a very complex subject matter and a very sensitive issue that should have been treated with the up most respect but, as previously stated, that didn't happen in the case at hand. We the survivors of domestic violence and abuse deserved better than what the writers did here. Hopefully next time they would do a better job researching the issue so they could have a better understanding of both the victim and the abuser and the circumstances that led to the abuse. Only then we would be able to start making changes to end the cycle of violence. Blessed be!
