My mind is going wild this morning and I find myself unable to sleep again after waking up to get the kids off to school. My girlfriend was attacked yesterday, not once but twice by the same *#$^#$@$%&. She is doing better this morning, at home resting and of course called out of work. The people that did this are in their thirties and married with young children. Her neighbors, with whom she's had a great relationship with until now. Over an extremely petty issue. The violence was initiated by the husband and joined in by the wife. He, who has continually made advances on her and physically tried to harass her younger cousin. Luckily her cousins were around and they all gelled together and her sister and other family members came asap.
I've been feeling incredibly helpless as I can't be there when I feel she needs me. Needless to say I've been in constant contact with her. When it came to nearly being arrested the !@#%&$@!%#^@&@^@$%&*%*%*#@!$@$!!^!### had to nerve to start begging for forgiveness and asking her and her family to let God judge them and punish them on Judgement Day. Know why? Their asses would have been beaten senseless and possibly killed by the policemen and/or cellmates (if they made it to jail alive) for beating a young girl, not to mention lose their jobs as civil servants, and no one would care. I still say she and her family should have let them be arrested and dealt with. In this country a corpse can lie in the streets for days and people would simply walk by until enough people complain of the smell. No exaggeration. I've seen a burned corpse being bypassed by people.
Something within me is so deeply shaken and dumbfounded, I can't even cry. I've just been losing myself in reading blogs in between calling her.
*I will probably delete this later because I feel it's detailed enough to get me found out, but I had to get it out.

i am so very sorry for this, and it must be difficult for you not being able to physically be there.
ReplyDeletewhy wasn't they arrested anyway? despite what the family said. they should have just been arrested in my opinion.
why did they think they had the right to put their hands on her...a man at that? and then the wife joined in? thats just crazy.
i hope she recovers soon and is back up to speed. even though that will leave mental scars long after the physical ones are gone. thats just crazy.
i believe they just be punished, period. they were wrong. they are horrible horrible people.
sending my best your way...
Thank you Tami. I am contemplating hopping up there before I leave for the US on Wednesday. She keeps assuring me she is ok, just in some pain and tired but taking her meds. I really feel helpless.
ReplyDeleteI can hardly get it through my head. How could a man think to raise his hand to a female at all? Over smoke from her generator (there was no electricity) breezing into his window.
Her faith and heart are purer than mine apparently because I think they should have been left to rot. She doesn't want their deaths on her hands and considered their children.
They are now offering to pay her retribution but I am not sure she will accept. She just keeps saying God will punish them and they will get theirs.
I know these people and we considered them ok despite his playful advances on her. It all came out yesterday, and you know what? The wife defended him saying men need to ***k, and they are just like that. Just goes to show what evil lurks beneath people.
You didn't delete it yet! This is awful. I know you feel helpless in that you can't be there physically with her. I'm sure that knowing you're in her heart will offer her some type of comfort...
ReplyDelete*Offers Sip a thousand hugs* I can't even imagine how you must feel right. So many things happening, especially with her. But please remember that "being there" for someone isn't always about the physical sense. I'm sure she can feel that she is in your thoughts constantly. I'm sure you're comforting her from afar.

(((((Sip)))))) I'm so sorry this has happened. I'm a firm believer that you get back what you give out so these dreadful people will get their just desserts down the line. Here's hoping your girlfriend makes a speedy recovery xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's an awful shame. I'm very sorry to hear that. Karma is a mutha! Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteRed-Welcome over! Thanks so much for the hugs. You're right about her feelings as though I'm there in her thoughts and in her heart. That's a comforting thought.
ReplyDeleteJonathan- Oh the many hugs :-)! She's doing much better now and will go back to work today. The husband has now been arrested but they are still looking for the wife whom it seems he's defending and hiding.
Glennisha- Thanks for your sympathy. They will get what's coming to them.
Shame on these people. I'm so glad your girlfriend is getting better. Wonderful! The Hug Cloud sailed by today and rained down plenty of new hugs of all different kinds, I doubt I'll run out any time soon so if you or anyone else needs any, you know where to look *smile*
