Early this month (June 4th to be exact) I wrote about a sister who endured years of domestic abuse and felt she had no alternative but to remain in the situation. Her story was shared by another sister who was assisting her the best way she could. That piece can be found here: https://www.stabroeknews.com/2023/06/04/sunday/womens-chronicles/a-sister-bogged-down-with-battered-womens-syndrome/. As a follow-up to that piece, here is an update on the situation as shared to me by the sister who cares.
“I think things get a little better,” she told me recently when I enquired about the situation.
“It was really starting to get to me because it was like my hands were tied because there was not much I could do and nobody around her was really doing anything either. So it was like a everyday battle, I listened and then I felt so sad and helpless,” she continued.
