Re: Living in a nightmare

I am just wondering if you are reading the same thing I am. Yes, she ATTEMPTED to hit him. The self-defense part was where he blocked it. Pushing her down, went beyond self-defense. Fear can evoke more than one type of response (fight or flight comes to mind). Staying there was stupid--many things could have happened--but that does not mean that she was not in fear. I am not necessarily saying that she was abused, I merely asked her to evaluate what happened and her feelings so that she could possible gain perspective. Her husband (from the given story) did not seem too worried until the kids and the house were brought up--could this be a political (legal) maneuver?
I am sorry for you (and all) who have been abused and not heard. It's a terrible thing.
