Her Life

Wife abuse, family abuse

August 27, 2013

No one saw it coming, until he hurt us all, he took a life away that my Mom and her family went through for years. Wife abuse that dates back to when she first met him, at the age of 16, while still in high school. She didn't want to date him, she had good reasons too, she told her children that he was abusive, drinking, denied everything and yet a friend of hers pushed it to go on a date, the friend also knew him from junior high, yet she choose my Mom who didn't want anything to do with him.  Forced into marriage on December 7, 1957 at the age of 18. They moved to Chicago, because of his work related moved him around alot, but we had no idea why he moved alot. Until the facts came much later. Then they moved to Detroit, 13th mile, they lived in a apartment. I'm not sure where that is, she said there was no crime there when they lived there, but from hearing from my friends its a bad area, from there they moved back to Cleveland and at the age of 23, my Mom had me, he was 26. I came out but had health problems in the beginning, my Mom said they had a hard time getting me out of her, I was a premmie baby, by two weeks according to my Mom, also is when my Sister was born, a year after that, my 1st Brother was born, then 5 years after that, my Youngest Brother was born.
