My dear friend hates confrontation and wants nothing but the best for most people so it took a lot to finally speak up to her ugly husband and say a separation is what is needed. Almost a year went by, still living in the same household but living separate lives, when they each sign the separation agreement. She is meeting up with friends she hasn’t seen in years but her mentally unstable soon to be ex husband wonders why she won’t cook for him and perform her “wifely duties.” Yup, he actually said that to her. She had to remind him that they are officially separated for over a year but when he found out that she reconnected with an old boyfriend, his temper went through the roof!! This past Sunday, she called me terrified as I heard him scream at her calling her everything disgusting you can think of. She told me he spat on her and I was scared for her so I called the police. He told me I was a disgusting old looking bitch and told me the info the cops needed. When I got to the house, the cops were there and he was full of anger making himself sound like he was the hurt party. He told me off and said that I’m not welcome and he will charge me with trespassing but the cops told him it is a matrimonial home and I am welcome if his wife wants me there which she does. I just was smiling as he ranted like a nutbar, and then I yawned. I got my friend to come with me ( and the cops told her it is in her best interest to be away from him) and brought her to her mom’s place. She ended up throwing up and throwing up…the poor thing, but, I think, she needed this to find her strength. He has been emotionally and mentally abusive to her for years and she finally is breaking free. I don’t like her staying there but she does have a lock on her bedroom door and yesterday and today, her sister was with her. Thankfully, he signed the form in order to sell the house and now we shall see how things go. I went on and on. I am showcasing 3 songs for her and am part of the Monday Music Moves Me where it is freebie week.
1. YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE SUNG BY KATHERINE JENKINS-2016
Here is an iconic disco song about women who think they can never do it, whatever it is. She sings this with such conviction and fun. I love this song and hope it does right by my friend. She is beautiful and hope my friend knows she will triumph.
