Abusive men

The verdict is finally out! The man who shoved his ex-girlfriend into the path of an oncoming MRT train is sent to jail for one year.

Only one year?! The badly shaken girl who was wearing high heels and knee-length skirt, performed an amazing act of agility to save her life. She landed on her feet, picked herself up, stepped over the tracks and a rail carrying an electric current, then vaulted over a low parapet wall…all within a space of 5 seconds.

Now she worries about whether he’ll look for her after his release from prison in a few days time and whether she’ll be as lucky the next time if he tries to do anything.

I know a woman who got out of an abusive marriage. It was a bitter divorce and she fought hard to win custody of her two children. She brought them up single-handedly without receiving alimony or child support from the ex. The ex never cared about the welfare of the kids. He drifted in and out of the kids’ life, taking them out whenever he feels bored, and claims he’s playing the role of a father. He became bolder and wanted more time with the kids now that they’re older and more fun to be with.

Naturally the woman was concerned. “Two weeks? They have school camps and extra classes during school vacation. ”

“I have my right as a father you know?” He retorted.

“Then you should do more for them like taking care of their welfare and paying child support.”

He got mad. “So, it’s all about money huh? What about my right as a father? Don’t tell me I can’t even spend time with my own kids?”

“I have never stopped you from seeing them. But it’s time you be responsible for their education and welfare as well.”

“So, it’s all about money! You fxxking bitch!” He slammed down the phone.

Watch out! Another abusive man on the loose.
