As she started talking of the abuse she has lived thru I was at first surprised, then stunned and finally angry. Very angry. She must have been able to see the emotions I struggled to keep from her for she would touch my hand and say it's ok, meaning she understood my reaction and I would answer "No it is not ok." meaning that no one should have to live in such a way. She said it didn't happen often and I angerily replied that it should not happen at all, period. It was all I could do not to confront the asshole. She asked me not to. I did as she asked and did not like not doing so. But she needed someone she could trust and talk to. The someone she chose was me.
