Your mother acts as though nothing happened.
She makes dinner and sits at the table, staring into her plate.
He stumbles in drunk, stands behind her and says,
"I'm sorry. Do you forgive me?"
She sits silent for a long time.
You can see the bruise over her eye turning purple.
You can feel her sadness filling the room.
She nods without looking up.
He forces a kiss on her then smiles at you as if to say everything's fine now.
You stare into your plate.

Damn straight. There is a special place in hell for people who abuse women and children.
Unfortunately the laws aren't often strong enough and the wife or children get terrorized more once the monster is out on bond.
Its a terrible situation where families often have to go into hiding to escape an abusive spouse.
Abuse in general is something I don't understand. How do people become like that?
Abuse is inherited from the parents.
The son watches the father beat the mother and learns that violence is the means to elicit desired behavior from a wife.
Abuse goes both ways..here in the states women abuse men much more frequently these days. Men are taught not to raise a hand against a woman and the man's shame also keeps this type of abuse under reported.
