My eldest granddaughter has been living with me for the past 7-8 months. She called me one day in a complete state and then admitted that my son had been very "handy" with her and her sibs for a long time. This time, he had gone to far and beaten her badly. I told her to come straight here.
When things had settled down I wrote to my son and told him that I didn't want to see or hear from him until such time as he 1) apologised to her and 2) assured both her and me that it would not happen again. She was 19 at the time but is now 20. He is a single dad who had brought up her and her 2 brothers and whom I had always admired, until she confessed that this has been going on for years and years.
He is not a small man. He used to Cage Fight for relaxation and could easily have killed her. She will be staying with me until she can find her feet as well as somewhere to live.
I cannot abide violence - especially towards women and children. I could not care less if men knock 7 bells out of each other.
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
How do you acknowledge Easter.
