This past weekend there were 8(EIGHT) people murdered as a result of domestic violence here in Birmingham. One of those murders almost brought tears to my eyes. I didn't know the victim(s) but the story is so unbelievable that it just blew my mind. A man went to the house of his ex girlfriend and killed her current boyfriend and shot her multiple times in front of her mother. When the mother tried to pull her daughter's body into another room,the man kicked the door down and shot the woman 4-5 more times while she laid there in her mother's arms.
Let that marinate for a minute!
A mother witnesses her daughter getting shot,she tries to save her by pulling her into another room. The gunman then go into that room and shoot the victim again while the mother is holding her. Then this coward goes outside and commits suicide.
So I'm talking to this guy at work about the incident you just read and he starts crying like a baby. I asked did he know the woman. He said,"No,but my sister was shot by HER boyfriend." This man told me his sister was dating a guy who shattered her jaw by hitting her in the face with a HOT iron. After she had surgery on her face, she asked him to go get help. He became so upset,he grabbed his gun and shot her in the chest. She was lucky,she survived. The guy I work with told me his sister STILL refused to give up on that man, even after he shot her. The guy is serving time for attempted murder but I wonder what is it that makes it so hard for women to leave men that physically and even verbally abuse them.
If you know anyone dealing with physical abuse and they can't gather the strength to leave. PLEASE let them hear this video. I've posted it several times but it never gets old.

Just Wow! The loyalty of a woman is both amazing and frustrating.
ReplyDeleteRecently, here in DC. A guy shot and killed his girlfriend because he heard she was talking to another guy at the club. *sigh* At the young lady's funeral there was a shoot out, which many believe is directly linked to her murder. One person was killed and two were injured. This is madness!
Reading this story broke my heart. May her soul rest in peace and my prayers go out to her family and friends.
I believe you treat people based on how you feel about yourself and some of these brothers have a twisted sense of masculinity.
Sisters, please look for sociopathic signs in a man's behavior and be proactive not reactive.
Control can be executed in subtle and unassuming ways. Let your spirit guide. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't right. Get help and get out!
