This was what they told her when she came home with a broken arm and a bloody nose. Vivian have been suffering from domestic violence ever since she got married to Ken. It has been from one fight, argument and beatings to another. She was getting tired of it all, but she couldn't leave. The big question is WHY? how can she leave when the people who are supposed to protect her are the ones pushing her to the beast of man she married? The word 'what will people say?' have been her parents watchword.
So many men and women are going through a rough patch with their spouses. But instead of leaving, they choose to stay or even pray because of what the society Will say. Domestic violence is so parvelence in our society. Infact, the society sees nothing wrong with it anymore. It is now part of us and so many men and women usually loose their lives in the process..
When a woman runs home, don't tell her to pray because most times, even though prayer works in all things it doesn't change a man or a woman who isn't ready to change. The society should stop shaming victims who summons the courage to work out of an abusive marriage. Marriage is meant to be enjoyed not endured.
So, when a man or a woman deciedes to leave their spouse, the society should stop making a big deal out of it. After all, it is who that wear the shoes knows where it pitches.
