A Very Violent Abusive Relationship

I read about this girl named Linda, who seemed to have chosen the wrong guy to date every single time, three times in a row. She got together with her boss at the age of eighteen. In the past, she had had a baby with someone else, and she didn't want to have anymore. She ended up getting pregnant with her boss and told him that she was going to terminate the pregnancy, but her boss wanted to have a baby with her eventhough she didn't want to. That's when he started to threaten and beat her up real bad.

He did horrible things to her eventhough she was pregnant. She almost always had bruises and black eyes. She was hit for pathetic reasons. She ended up having four kids with the guy. She got tired of living with him, so she left him, taking her oldest son with her.

She should have done that ages ago. Anyway, she became a stripper to provide for her kid and herself. She hooked up with another guy who seemed nice at first like her boss, but he ended up being a total jerk. He hit her twice and was going to rape her, but he got arrested and put in jail for one and a half years.

She then was introduced to another guy, named Jeff, who was worse than the two other men put together. He hit her everyday and stalked her wherever she went. He even held a gun to her head once. She put up with him for six and a half years! Then she left him, but he found her anyway. When he found her, he beat her up so bad that she almost died. He smashed her face until blood spurted out. He made her spend the night with him. She waited until he was asleep, and she ran away and accused him with the police.

He went to jail for a long time, and Linda finally met her prince charming which she lived with happily ever after and stuff.

All the violence that she went through took a period of about thirty-three years!

I think that Linda was not smart to keep dating the same guy that kept beating her. She should have left the guy as soon as he hit her the first time. Maybe she thought that her relationship with her boss could have changed after she had a baby with him. And maybe she thought that guys make mistakes and they can change, but evidently for her they didn't. What happened to Linda shows that you have to be careful with your choices because the world can be cruel and violent, and Linda was lucky to have survived that cruelty, but some people aren't so lucky.
