Love

My Sister

This is a plea for any one that is an abusive situation, get away before its to late. I wouldn't wish this pain on my worse enemy and after you read this you know who mine is. My sister has five children that she loves very much, i know this because they are beautiful and healthy kids. She started a really bad relationship around 14 years ago. She hid all the black eyes and bruises very well and when she had my only niece she became very secretive and distant. That was the very first sign of things going down hill for her. Shortly after my oldest nephew was born she moved away about 2 hours into the neighboring state and I didn't see her for the next 2 years. When I did see her she had a new baby she didn't tell us about. Very shortly after he was born she was pregnant again and hid that whole pregnancy as well. Little did I know she was being beaten almost to the point of death. I'm not sure if it was because he kept getting her pregnant as to why she never left him or if she just really loved him or if she was just really scared to say anything to her family, but whatever it was she still didn't leave. So the next 2 years go by and she moves back to our home town now by this time she stayed away from us even though she was very close to us. Then one day my niece says to me we have a baby in the hospital, I said what yeah auntie we got a baby in the hospital! I ask her and she still lie and say no she don't know what she is talking about, eventually she had to tell us. I don't know why I wasn't more involved, I guess it was because she didn't want to tell me what was going on she automatically knew that I would definitely do something about it. Just because a person doesn't tell you out there mouth that they need help doesn't mean they don't. This year my sister had had enough she called the police and told them what was going on, they came to arrest him but they let him right back out the next day despite the fact he is a felon. One day my sister calls me and tells me a lot that has been going on and she is tired of it and wants out. So I tell her about this new job I have working from home and she even starts working for a little while then boom .... silence. I know something is wrong so I alert everyone I haven't heard from her something is wrong. Three days later she calls finally and she didn't sound like herself so I knew it was something then the next day she has the police called because he was over there for 3 days beating her up again in front of the kids he even had a gun. Despite what the police said to me and my dad they let him back out again. This time I told her to pack up and come with me. Now at this point she has filed a restraining order and he was still reaching out to her, he put sugar in her tank, and he just consistently tormented her continually until the early morning of October the 6th, 2020. He forced his way into her mother's house and shot her to death in front of their daughter. My niece was the one who called me and her grandmother for help. That was the worse day of my life and the fact that me, our dad, our brother, and her had dinner that night before, we had a lot of laughs and we enjoyed each other that night we left each other around 9:30pm. I was in the bed about to go to sleep and got a phone call at 1:40am I knew it was something wrong. I never will be the same after something so traumatic. I just hope that if there are any woman in an abusive relationship, please leave it will not get better! Please don't leave alone, the most dangerous part of ending an abusive relationship is the ending part because some men cant let go of that power they had over you. Please Please Please Be Safe!
