I have a cousin who gets drunk and when he does he likes to act like a macho man. Well one evening we were all sitting
around the living room and like always for some odd reason he always starts to pick on his wife. He'll tell her for example
"go to bed" or "sit here" or "where you going". Well that evening he told her to go to bed because he was tired
and the kids were already asleep and she was talking to us so she didnt want to go to bed. That made him mad and he started
talking rto her real ugly and theres only so much a person can take so she started talking back to him. That set
him off and he grabbed her arm so tight that in the morning she had bruises. Well when he grabbed her arm he started to l
pick her up so that she was standing and he pushed her towards the direction of the room but she insistintlly wanted to stay
in the living room. One thing led to another and by the time we knew it they were yelling at each other and he had his hands
around her neck. She was literally turning red in the face. Well my older cousin got in the way and stopped the whole thing
and cousin the one that was beating his wife started to resist he wanted to fight him too. Let's just say the whole night
was crazy and filled with drama. my cousins wife and the kids ended up at a shelter.
The next morning my cousin was all worried cause he didnt know where she was at. He was calling around frantically but
no one dared to tell him. In fear he would find her and get mad at her again. After the whole day went turns out my cousins
wife had gotten in touch with her mother and was on a bus back to el paso along with the kids. My cousin was honestly upset
but i'm not sure i can actually say that i felt bad because i didnt and in fact i'm pretty glad she did leave.
I mean he did bring it upon himself. Well shes been gone for about a week and i dont know how she and the kids are taking
in. But my cousin mopes around the house all day. I dont think he wants to admit it but like the saying goes "you dont know
what you got til its gone" and i think he knows what he did was wrong.

Abuse in your relationship is very hard to cope with. I'm serioulsy its not easy to tell someone your partner beats you.
In fact if you did tell someone be expecting some kind of lecture. They would tell you stuff like "why are you still with
that person" and "why'd he/she do it" and all your answer would be is "i dont know"
Honestly i've known someone who was in an abusive relationship. And all she would say is stuff like "its ok it wont
happen again" and what happens he does it again and it doesnt make any sense. I dont know why she hangs around. I really wish
she had a good enough reason besides "i dont know"
If abuse hurts and is emotionally painful why is it that a person whom they love just keep doing it? Does it really
make him/her feel more like a person? I wonder if they as the abusers have any after thoughts. I wonder if all they feel is
hate towards that person while they are doing it and after there done do they feel better relieved or do they still try to
give the other person love? Its questions like these that make people wonder if those these people who are abusing others
are thinking correctly.
