this is a scenario for which many women go thru while being with an abuser … i did it with my first one …
the mother after enduring the amazing birth of her wonderful new life .. often held onto extra strongly as now she has someone to really love her .she spends her few days in hospital feeling special & pampered and looked after . she feels refreshed and ready to tackle what is to come for her abusive man .. her protective instinct tend to kick in stronger now with a baby to care for and protect ..
he pics her and new baby up from the hospital being ever so sweet helpful and nice … wow she gets a glimmer of hope that maybe he will change .. after all he witnessed the birth and even shed a few tears … she finally saw him in a weak moment for the first time in their relationship … maybe the baby will change him after all she thinks to herself
as they drive home he continually asks her does she feel ok wow she feels a bit special form her abuser … he happily takes baby out the seat and brings it inside … you walk thro the door .. the house smells a bit musty .. but i guess that’s to be expected she has been away 3 days .. the windows are all closed even the curtains havent been opened ….as he placed the car seat on the floor with new baby she goes around opening windows and pulls the curtains back … the lounge is a bit messy a few cups and dinner plates .. but that’s ok he was left here alone after all for those few days …. you walk into the kitchen … your mouth hits the floor the entire bench top is full of shit .. un cleaned food scraps .. the dished are over flowing in the sink masterly balancing on top of each other the floor crunches as you slowly step in .. you breath deeper your heart rate rises … your blood boils but you dont dare yell at him incase you set him off on another wild adventure of his temper tantrums .
you walk thru the house … the toilet floor smells of a male urinal theres piss all over the floor … the bedroom is a mess bed not made his dirty work clothes for days ago scattered all over the floor . the bathroom has 3 towels thrown onto the floor .the dog looks at you sideways as if it hasnt been fed for days .. the baby begins to cry .. your almost there yourself
but you know you have to suck it up … you push food of the couch move the clothes and make a small space for yourself to sit and feed your precious baby . the baby feeds and settles quickly your abusers offers no apology nor even any words of recognition that the house is filthy his silence says it all .. you settle baby to sleep in a clean bed and spend the next few hours cleaning . almost passing out by the end ..you open the fridge to find there is no food in the house … no meat no milk … he offers to go get milk and bread as if he is doing you a favour you need to rest and sit for a while but then baby wakes up for another feed ….
and then to imagine what goes on if you had other children to care for aswell …
this is an all to often common event for mothers who date /marry abusers .. they are selfish self absorbed pricks who refuse to be considerate in any way shape form …. not even for his children can this man consider the comfort of another human being but himself .. sure there are glimmers that he cares but leaving you to be the primary career of his children and call himself a father is weak …. he wont help you around the house nor with the baby … instead … he will let it be known he is uncomfortable with the noise and its greatly disturbing his slumber … so you try raise your children as silently as you can keeping them away from the bedroom while poor tired daddy after working 8 hours a day … takes priority over the house and his children yet again … he becomes ruler of his domain and his people’s ….
dont expect things to change infact abusers can become ever more violent when children are born … they feel all mighty now they control more than one human life … they will use your children against you if you leave … he just has another tool to abuse you with .
HE WONT CHANGE …. RUN MOTHERS
