I have a friend who informed me that her husband occasionally hits her.  She attempts to justify it by saying that she made a mistake with preparing his food, she didn’t wash his favorite shirt, or she walked in front of the television when the big play happened during the Monday Night Football game.

I explained that no loving man would ever do such a thing regardless of what she did.  Time and time again, I’ve supported her.  I asked her to contact the police and use that as possibly a scare tactic.  I even suggested that maybe she should just leave him.  But she persisted that it would get better and he didn’t really mean it.

After all he did say he was sorry and one of those times he had a legitimate bad day at work.

Right!

Now I don’t condone this type of behavior at all, but at times I wonder…..  Is she to blame for her own situation?  I mean she stays there, puts up with it day in and day out, and can’t seem to see the light that she would be MUCH better on her own or definitely with someone else.

What do you think?
