"A Matter Of Life And Death"

I was listening to the Steve Harvey show this morning and it was very disturbing. This young lady wrote in asking for advice on what to do about her situation with her boy who is abusing her. She is a 24 AKA and just graduated from college with a BS in biology. She said that her boyfriend is jealous of her success and takes it out in the form of beating her, breaking her arm and cutting her hair. She tells his mom about what’s going on and how she wants to leave, and his mom tells him what they talked about and tells her to just deal with it because she knows how he is. She has no family and has nowhere else to go. She was offered a job in Texas and he doesn’t want her to go and she is afraid of what might happen if she does. WOW! What the heck is this world coming to when we allow women to continue to be treated this way and other people know about it? What is it going to take for her to leave and why has she stayed so long.

  1. It’s sad to think that another woman would let this go on and think that it’s ok , or not think so and just turn her head to the situation. I believe that she has been dealing with this before she met him. In my opinion for her to stay with this guy for this long as she has, this is something that she is use to either from her past or she has seen it go on somewhere else. I don’t know if maybe her parents where abusive or she may have been in foster care. In this case she needs to get the hell away from this dude and his family. If you are a woman and you have a man who is not supportive of your success and he shows it by beating you, he is not the guy for you. If she doesn’t leave now she won’t have to worry about that job in Texas because she will not be living to make it there. I really don’t know what to say. Put your hands on one of my daughters or any 1 of my 4 sisters you can kiss your ass good bye.
