Re: Cousin- Divorce?
I think you are reading it all wrong. All we are saying is if she has those two in her favor, it is relatively easier for her to get away from this guy.
Am sure you deal with helping abuse victims all the time, but is it hard for you to believe that some of the posters here may have gone through something like this and know a thing or two about it? Maybe they saw their mothers or sisters or daughters go through it. Ignorance is not about not knowing; it is about not learning. Not acknowledging that there could be a different point of view is the worse ignorance of all.
Every contributor to this thread did so to the best of their abilities to help OP. If you are capable of doing more, by all means, reach out to her and offer your expertise.
“There is no excuse for an educated woman to tolerate such physical abuse. In fact, if a girl is educated, she should stand up for herself and set an example for other girls who are not as fortunate.” this is what you said which is what I had a problem with.
