Domestic Violence

Today, I was looking through a webpage of an old colleague. She got married in the beginning of this year; however, she got a divorce a few months after because her husband physically hurt her. It is hard and sometimes it is even harder to put things into perspective after the traumatic experience.

I'm a lucky girl. My husband is a nice guy. He doesn't physically hurt me, although he likes to hurt my feelings from time to time... I'm a lucky girl now!

I was once a victim of domestic violence 2 years ago. My neighbor phoned the police and arrested the assaulter. It was difficult for me because I never knew that someone could hurt me physically within my family. If my father would be around, this would never happen. I tried not to think too much, after all, I have forgiven the one who hurt me.

Although I still want to see him, it would not be the same again. I missed my brother who gave me tarapanda back in the old days of university - it was only 8 years ago. I really missed his healthy self.

If God can grant me the wisdom and grace, I wish I can bring peace to this situation. Bring peace to my dad, and bring peace to my afflicted brother. As our family friend says, God would take care of it. I just wish that this day would come soon!
