Dee's life is now based on avoiding another beating.
She has caused Mac to beat her.
He didn't want to.
But she made him.
Anything can set him off.
She has to be careful.
The child is traumatised by seeing his mother
beaten, but as he identifies with the father,
he learns to dislike his mother, to believe what
his father says, and to hold her in contempt.
If he doesn't, he too will be beaten.
If he is beaten, he will identify with the mother
and learn to hate his father.
The least he will learn is how men treat women.
For 'normal' to him, is a man beating a woman.
Dee doesn't look so pretty any more.
Her face and body show signs of abuse.
But she lies.
I fell is the usual remark she makes whenever
she sees a family member or old friend.
She is afraid to tell them the truth.
Mac is not a puny man, he is her captor.
He has all the power in the world.
She is terrified of him.
If her family interfers, it will get worse,
she is sure.
She doesn't leave Mac.
She has 'no where to go'.
She can not believe she can survive
without Mac.
He tells her how she feels, how she thinks,
what she is to do. He owns her. She can
not survive on her own.
She stays until either
a) he kills her
b) he dies
c) she kills him
d) her son grows up and throws him out
e) her son kills him
The person she was who could have calmly
called the police, packed up and left, no longer
exists.
