Wife beating makes me angry!

Every once in a while I get a posting to the main site from a woman in a really bad situation. Because of the way the site is configured, I have no way of communicating back to them except by way of A Note from Anger Central.

95% of the time, these notes are really snarky as i tee off on the poster. On rare occasions, I get a posting that is a cry for help. This morning one of those cries arrived in my mail box.

I read through it and the poster appears to be a married woman with at least one child. She is in a very bad situation and is blaming her self for all the problems in her marriage. Her husband, according to the poster, has beaten her at least once.

I’m going to repost the rant here:

husband 259

I am so hurt my husbands mother is an alcoholic we have been together 3 years and have twins since i have given up my career to be a good mum and wife. however i dink a bottle of wine a night it never affects us i potter about the house cleaning etc while he watched tv. he beat me to a pulp in march and i begged him to come back saying it was all my fault cos i was drunk the reality is he beat me and constantly says it was my fault. even tought i chill out with a bottle of wine i still raise the kids pander to his every whim, though he continuously tells me he regrets ever meeting me he is unhappy with life wants to leave but the next day says he loved me so much is happy with our family etc i still love him he has walled out and i feel lost without him i want to die i have nothing left to give

This woman has a lot of problems. It appears to me that she is a borderline alcoholic, and considering what she’s putting up with, I’m not surprised. I posted a “Note from Anger Central” telling her to get out of the situation and to get help.

I’ve run into this once before where I’ve posted a note telling someone to get out. In that case, the poster saw my comment and “was shocked” at what I had said. She emailed me about a year later telling me that it took her a while to come to grips, but in the end she had scooped up her kids and left. She thanked me and told me she was a lot better off now.

My hope is that the woman who posted the rant last night will also take my advice and please, please get some help before it’s to late.

I run Anger Central as a place for people to vent their spleens. I’m not a social worker and generally have a very low regard for most of them. However, once in a while something comes in that just has to be addressed. This is one of those occasions.

Thank you.
