This is from an old friend of mine. A decent man, though we disagree on many things. For this one, he asked my advice.

A reminder that prepping is not just for the end of the world. Bad things happen every day, and we had best be ready.

My mothers’ third husband tried slapping her around once. Once.

That was the day she broke my baseball bat. I won’t say how, but he never tried that crap again.

I don’t like this advice. Of course I don’t know all the details.

But, he stopped. I don’t think I’d leave, unless I had a good reason to believe he was going to start up again. If I felt my life or my kid’s life or health were in danger.

What does “stopped” mean? Did he grab her by the arm once, and has never done it again and promises not to? Or did he routinely choke her out and just “stop” six weeks ago? It makes a difference.

As a once abused wife they never really stop.They will go through the rehab and all of the various things they are supposed to do but the only thing that will ever stop it is to get far far away from them and never go back.The minute the stress gets too much for them or things don’t go exactly their way they will go right back to beating you.
