More than 50 years ago a kind lady, with her husband’s support, helped my mother and me leave my abusive father. On the day of my mother’s funeral, and a few years before they passed away, I went to them and thanked them for helping us. The gentleman, a WWII vet, said “We didn’t do anything anybody else wouldn’t have done.”

I said “Well, nobody else did.”. Not long ago I wrote the story and shared it with the couples’ family including some great grandchildren who never had the privilege of knowing them.

These two brothers are doing God’s work.

Totally agree. I’ve done this a few times. It’s nerve wracking as you never know when a violent confrontation is going to explode.

Yes, sometimes the woman is the one causing the problem. Safety is the key factor.
