What a Shame that poor child.

:no:

How sad...............

Such a sad, sick and twisted thing for that boy to have to witness. I used to be married to an abusive alcoholic. When he drank( which was nightly) he would abuse me and the 3 children we shared. On Feb 2, 2001, he was up and loaded when my son (14 yrs old) was getting ready for school. The (now X) traumatized him, calling him a bastard and kicking him out saying he never wanted to see him again. To make a long story short, my son was unable to stay in school that day, he came home begging me to divorce his dad. My son was a good kid, a great athlete. His dad worked 2nd shift, and was still at work on this day. My son told me he loved me, patted my head and told me good night, an hour later, I found my son dead in the bed from heart failure. The opposite of this story, I know, but I have to live with this daily. I divorced him shortly after this,found a really great guy to spend life woth. Now, my x has liver problems and is sying a slow death, himself. Sorry, I just neededto get this out. I very rarily talk of it.

I AM SO VERY SORRY AND YOU HAVE MY PROFOUND SYMPATHY FOR YOUR LOSS. Thank you for sharing such painful personal information with us. :grouphug::heart: Stay strong, Red...I care

omg that poor child it makes me sick to my tummy.

That is very sad. This boy will have a hard time for the rest of his life after seeing this. Domestic violence effects everyone in the family not just those who claim to be in love. :( That poor boy....

What a sad sad situation to have gone through! It is heart breaking to hear. Thank you for sharing that!:grouphug:

omg 14 is the age most adolescents need their parents especially while they are transitioning into a higher education level...my nephew is 14 that puts this all in perspective

Linda, your son must be an amazing soul. He saved your life. I know-know- you will meet again. Your pain and sense of loss must be terrible, but please don't feel guilty. He had a job to do on this earth-and he did it. He is a glorious angel now, and I know he loves you very much-still.

God blessem

What a sad and tragic thing for a person to witness, especially a teenage boy seeing his parents do that. :(

That is absolutely heart breaking to say the least. Domestic violence is a very very ugly thing. My heart goes out to this young man and I am hoping and praying that they locate family members that will take him in and love him as he deserves to be loved.

this story is so sad, i used to watch my father beat my mom when i was younger and it truly is something you never forget my heart goes out to that young boy as well as to redd and her son

That is such a sad story. My neighbor was killed by her husband infront of their four kids. Ages at the time were 7,5,4, and 2. I later started to date a man and found out that was his cousin. I was with him for 5 years and have watched how hard it was for those little boys to grow up without a mom and their dad in prison for life. The second oldest still has nightmares to this day about what happened. It is always sad to hear about abuse and to live through it but even more tragic when it ends in blood shed and death.
