Distress and Distrust
When you are no longer safe in your own home and your husband acts in such a violent way to knock you unconscious, what would you do? What should you do? Add to the situation that you are the last and 13th in your family and really have no close knit family that would help or even lift a hand to offer you anything for fear of the maniac you are married to, coming after them?
Just as soon as we were all back home together, our house was put on the market for “SALE” and it did not take long to sell! America was now in the “WWII” situation, and we were now looking for a house or an apartment or something, but there was nothing to be found! What a mess of a situation we were in! I remember when we were looking at places to rent or buy; I was very “thirsty” and I had ask for a drink – said something to the effect of being “thirsty” and my father answer saying, “It is not Thursday!” And along with that, “You are to be seen and not heard from.” So, I just had to wait and see if somebody would feel sorry for me and offer a drink, but that didn’t happen.
Finally, we found an apartment, but it was just until we could find a house. The buyers of our house wanted to move in right now, so we stay a couple of months in an apartment – but really living out of the boxes. My parents were not to unpack and repack for such a short time. Also, the money that my mother paid for the house that we did have, she now receives only half. My father said he was entitled to half. So, when we find another house – an 80 year old house that the neighbors told my mother they could have bought for $2,000.00, now cost my mother $3,000.00. My father spent his portion of the previous sale money on himself! You can see what a “Happy” life this has turn out to be for all of us.
