Oprah's show today touched on lives of women who were for a short while touched by violence and torture in the hands of a person they loved and trusted, their own husbands. We looked at their stories and wondered why these women even started a relationship and loved these men and why they stayed married to them.
It's difficult for a person on the outside to understand. Even these women who appeared in the show, for them, it's difficult for them to see who they were in the past.
When asked, the women just said that the guys were so charming and nice in the beginning. The bad side sneaked in gradually after the wedding, often years after. And on why they stayed on, the women said that when they uttered their wedding vows, they really meant it and so didn't think that the husbands did anything wrong.
The good thing is that they managed to get out of the abyss and that they are all in good situations now.
I wonder if I were in this situation if I would ever have the strength to step up and out.
