Yes, the door swings both ways. God bless the men who don't retaliate in kind. Good picture & good write.

Linda,
This brought tears to my eyes! It is an incredible piece, and I so hope you are going to submit this somewhere if you have not already. I knew a man once when I going to meetings, and he was just like this. It took him months before he would speak, and when he finally did, it was like nothing that I had ever experienced! Thank you for taking me back to a very warm memory of a very loving person that I was blessed to have met in my lifetime!

Hugs,
Maria

Yes it does Angel ... and the man usually won't do anything about it. But it runs both ways. You are so right in making others aware of it. But usually the strength of the man can hold down the violence. Most women are not that fortunate. In my humble opinion it is worse for the women. Hugs Bill
