Your realism in this post is going to give a few folks the squeamies - but they ought to realize this is the reality of battered women. For some reason, the tipping point for me was the destruction of the painting. Now, I think it would be best for Bobby to swim with the fishes. Great job, as usual, barbara. Kind regards, Bev

You're welcome, barbara.
Comment from Herb
Don't apologise for the language as long as you've got a warning. Although I've been marked down for language in the past, even with a warning, some people ignore then get offended when their bubble bursts, Arghhh! LOL
As you know my following of this story hasn't been great but I get the gist. This chapter was superbly written and the action easier visible through the dialogue.
I guess you'll be wrapping this up soon, because Bobby is surely going straight back to jail. What an idiot and a cowardly fuck ... no apologies coming.

A few weeks ago I got gigged because I used the word 'damn' when Tory learned that Bobby was out of jail. Thank you for the kind review and support. I appreciate it.
Comment from AprilShower
It appears he's going to kill Anna. Is he too strong for her to even attempt to defend herself? She married a crazy man. This is well written, Barbara. However, if I were in her place, I would have attempted to defend myself.
I went out with a fellow who bragged about beating his father. I refused to go out with him anymore. He kept calling me for a couple of years. Finally, he married someone else. Years later, I had his son in my classroom. I met his ex-wife, and she told me how he used to beat her.
I often wondered if his son ended up being like his father. If a girl has a gentle, good, and kind father, she usually will ditch a man like this before their dating becomes too serious. Good fathers are very important for young girls. They give them someone to compare possible suitors with. This helps them make a better choice when they decide to marry. My sister and I both married good, gentle, and kind men. Good fathers are very important in a young girls life.

Well written, although very sad. It is wrong to let such violent men out of jail for time served. I hope this time they send him away for good. Unfortunately, this is very realistic~Debbie

Comment from CALLAHANMR
Hi Barbara:)
Poor Abba. is there no end to psychotic actions of Bobby and his mother. In the past she was always there to give him suppport. Now that her actions have ended her marriage and put her into a mental hospital, Booy blames Anna for his mother's failures.
In almost every case of abuse, the abser tries to place the blame on the abuser, so perhaps such behavior cance expected by Bobby.
Now driven by a psychotic anger Booy is completely out of control. i hope the police can put an end to his rampage.
Very graphic yiew at spousal and related abuse.
love and irish Hugs,
Roger

Hi Barbara,
I'm beginning to hope there's a police sharp- shooter somewhere in the offing and that he blows dear Bobby's head off. Not very Christian of me at all ...
As usual your story held my attention and your descriptive passages are certainly developing well.

barbara:
In this chapter, you've just served notice why so many
abused people never press charges - the perpetrator
eventually gets out of prison, often without any notice
to the defendant to help prepare themselves for what is
likely to come. This scenario happens much too often in
the USA,, much less across the world.
thanks for sharing
love,
jan

Comment from xxjsfuncxxxity
This is good writing and very realistic dialogue. I really don't understand why a writer would apologize for using any kind of language when trying to portray a character realistically. In my opinion, from what this character is all about, I'd use even stronger language. Otherwise, it was a powerful read and moved along well.
cheers

I got gigged in a previous post for using the word damn when Troy found out that Bobby got out of jail. Thank you for the kind review.
