ABOUT HER:
The person that I interviewed is a close friend of mine. Her name is Kristine, and she is eighteen years old. She was born and raised in Chicago. She is currently in an abusive relationship, and she has been in this relationship for a little over a year. I have put her story out into the public as a narrative story in the past. However, this is the first time that she has talked in an interview that was going to be published publicly.
WARNING:
As I mentioned in the introduction paragraph this is her first time speaking in an interview that is going to be public. This is about her abusive relationship, and she talks about some of the violence that she has gone through. The details are very explicit. The interview is about 15 minutes long. She talks about a few but not all of the encounters of violence that she’s faced. But these are true events that have happen to her and still continue to happen. I have her permission to put this up publicly, but if she decides that she wants me to take it down I will. Please be respectful and don’t judge. Thank you.
What do you do when your in a situation like this???????? It is a hard situation to be in..........and harder to get out of if you are unaware of what's around you.
ReplyDeletePlease get this girl some help. Try this website out: http://www.cawc.org/ to start or call the respective authorities.
I have seen this with family members and friends of mine, some with children of their own when it happened. One of my former uncles (by marriage)did this. And he did it to kids too, but no one believed the children until it was to late. Get this girl some fu*king help already. Report that boyfriend and the situation to the police. You, who posted this, have a moral obligation to notify someone, if you, yourself, cant help.
Everytime your friend is hurt, or if she is hospitalized or murdered, you and everyone else who knows her will be held partially responsible for it.
Whether she wants the help or not, their is a moral obligation here.
I am so pissed off right now after hearing the whole thing. This is messed up.
ReplyDeleteHi, I was reading the comments and advice other classmates have given you. You are truly in a hard situation, but do try to get your friend to change her mind about reporting this horrible boyfriend....I read a book that completely relates to this horrifying subject. I think that if you get it for your friend and get her to read it maybe that can help her make the decision NOW!!!! The book is The Breakable Vow by Kathryn Clarke. I really recommend you and your friend to read it. It is totally the story your friend is facing. I hope this helps you.
