“again, unless you have lived Domestic Violence and Abuse,”
That’s just it. I haven’t. No way my Mom would stand for it. A man hit her once, my former step-dad. My two uncles showed up and “helped” the step-dad move out. He was made aware what would happen if he returned.
You and your mom are fortunate! This girl isn’t that fortunate. She doesn’t have someone who is doing that for her. Count yourself blessed you and your mom did not have to live in the torment. Thank your uncles for sparing you all of that! Thank you mom for being able to see it for what it was and not go back to it.
