I almost couldn't watch that- I found myself turning my head away quite often. And I live in a very violent society- I thought I could take it.
I found myself so angry, but angry for a little while with the woman, too. The man I just wanted to see disappear into the ether. Check the jewelry alright. Love, Terri in Joburg
The abuser in my childhood was my mom, and it was always everyone else's fault when she went on a rampage. Sadly, I think the abusers really believe that.
I think I saw this on Dateline or something of the ilk. Aside from the tape, one of the things to convict the SOB, is that her boss noticed something was wrong, and when the women refused to talk about the abuse, she started making notes on her calendar to when the woman came in bruised which was admitted as evidence when the woman finally ready to get out and be helped.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

Thanks for the tip-off, I didn't click onto it.
