Hello world. The following was written 4/30/2017.
This has been one hell of an interesting night. Around 12:30 AM I heard hollering and scuffling in front of my house and a woman crying out in pain and hollering at a guy to stop hitting her. I looked out my window to see her trying to run away from him across the street. I turn on my porch light and walk out to the street to see them under the street light in the neighbors yard across the street. He has her by the hair and is punching her in the head yelling at her.
Without thought I find myself moving towards them yelling at him to get his hands off of her. To which he starts talking shit to me as he is dragging her away by her jacket and hair. Telling me he is going to beat my ass. My response was to tell him come on. I would kick his ass. Men like him are pussies. Any man that hits a woman is a pussy. His ass started running dragging her with him. Five minutes later I see patrol cars going through the neighborhood looking for this couple.
We hadn’t taken our dog for his walk yet and I had a feeling he was going to take her to the park up the street and beat on her. I asked Alex if he was ready for the walk and we took off towards the park for our nightly walk with Thor our pit bull. As we got closer we could hear them yelling and arguing.
Just as we turn into the park we can see their silhouettes in the field against the back light of the picnic benches. She is backing away from him with her hands in the air asking him to stop. I see him hit her once again and I snapped. I unleashed my dog as my husband snapped on our flashlight.
Next thing I know I open my mouth and said, “Remember me mother fucker? You said you would kick my ass. Well come on. Hit her again and I will kick your ass. Hit me and I will kill you. Then I will let my dog tear you to shreds until there is nothing left of you. You fucking pussy.” My dog took around four steps forward before I said his name and he stopped and stood still and at attention.
The woman then tried to pick up her purse from next to him. He grabbed her and I grabbed him. He had grabbed her arm hard enough to almost drop her to her knees. I grabbed his arm so hard it hit the bench. As she tried to step away from him around behind me he tried to stand up and I shoved his ass back down. He stood up and tried to step towards her and I shoved him back again.
I was filled with one hell of a righteous fury tonight. The guy was around 6′ tall. I have always wondered how I would react if I saw a man hurting a woman after all the shit I have been through personally, tonight I got my answer. I had no thought to my own safety only hers. When he grabbed her and she couldn’t break his hold, I did. He could not break mine. In those moments I had a hell of a lot more strength than he did.
I think he realized we were not going to permit him to hit her any more, so he started walking away talking more shit. Hollering at her and me. I told her she didn’t have to go with him. She could come with us and we would give her safe harbor. No strings attached. Pussies like him are terrified when a woman stands up to them. Notice how he runs away from a woman who doesn’t back down in fear? Stand up to his ass and he won’t touch you again.
His response was to start walking back yelling he was going to shoot me as he pulled a gun from his waistband. Pointing it over the girls shoulder at me as she tries to play interference with him. I found myself telling him go ahead and shoot me. I have God on my side and by the way, the cops are already looking for your ass mother fucker for beating on her.
At that point, he took off across the park with her following him. Her following him stated her choice. She was given the option to come with us and chose not too. We chose to continue our walk through the park. As we walked around the pond I could see them on the far side of the park silhouetted against the street lights. Every few minutes a cop would drive by the park, some with sirens going. I wonder if the young man is shitting his pants right now? If so, I would say it might be karma responding.
I am not sure who or what stepped into me tonight. Whatever it was, it sure shocked the hell out of my husband. He has never seen me respond like that before. In all of our 18 years together he has never seen me get verbally and physically involved with anyone. I am usually pretty calm. Yet tonight, seeing him hit her like that, made me snap inside and there was nothing going to stop me from protecting her anyway I could. Asked for or not.
Now I am asking myself what all of this is for. What is my lessons within this? I have a lot to look at and think about here.
Blessings on your journeys my brothers. Hugs and love. You are loved. I love you.
