I don't know if she actually went through that, but I could feel her words cut through me. I could feel her pain coursing though my veins. This makes me want to cry. It's sad that women actually go through this

See I would never hit my wife and my brothers do the same thats why all of us have scars both physical and mental from women we never laid a hand on.

Fortunately she learned to place all her pain and suffering at the feet of white people.
