Don't be afraid to leave those who hurt you

John and Sinthia were in a relationship for a year. And then they got married. Before the wedding, he seemed like Prince Charming to her. So, when he proposed to her and said that she was wonderful and his biggest dream was for her to be his wife, she accepted it happily. She was so excited to start a new life with him.

But she learned who he really was after they got married. That afternoon she was getting ready. And he came. He was looking irritated and asked her where she was going. She replied that she was going out with a friend. He got angry and told her that she was not going anywhere. She became shocked as she had never seen his this kind of behavior.

The other day, she was about to leave for the work. John stood in front of her and asked her is she used to go to work looking like that. She asked him what was wrong with that. He replied that the skirt was too short and she was looking like a street girl. Sinthia was shocked with his words. And like this he had always found a reason to yell at her.

One morning, she asked John to give her some money as she needed to buy groceries. He didn't give her money moreover asked her what she had done with her pay. He also clearly told her that his money was only his. And he wouldn't give any of it to her.

And this all things one day gave her the courage to leave. But when she was packing her things, he became his former self. He came to her and asked about what she was doing. She replied that she was sick of it and so she was leaving. He hugged her and said, "Honey, I am so sorry... I don't want yo to leave, I love you so much..." and many more sweet words he had told Sinthia after ages.

She still loved him and so she melted easily. But it didn't last. She worked day and night for the family. She tried to cook the best food. But taking one spoon of it, John always got irritated and said to her that she was terrible at cooking and he was sick of it. He also said that he should find a lover who could cook.

And then it got even worse after she got pregnet. John never took care of her. Moreover, she had to do all the chores herself. He only stood and looked at her how she was doing the chores and sometimes ordered her to execute his works. One day, Sinthia was mopping the floor and he was observing her standing near her. She needed to move the bucket and requested him to help her to carry it. She added that she was not supposed to carry heavy things. He asked her what she just had said. He then told her that she was just a lazy bum and ordered her to do it herself.

However, she hoped that his attitude would change after their baby's birth. She took her son to him and asked him to look at it. She added that their baby was so cute. But he said that he didnt' look like him. So, he told her to get the baby away from him. He never cared about Sinthia and then he didn't care about his son. If he cried, it was enough for him to be angry. He asked Sinthia why he was crying and warned her if he had heard another sound from him, they two would go sleep on the street.

She could not tolerate it more and decided to leave. But when John figured out that she was leaving, he went to her and asked her about it. She replied that she feared for her baby's safety and added that he and she were done. He got angry and told her that if she had left, he would have taken the baby away from her. Then she was not brave enough to leave because she could not lose the baby.

She cried a lot that ngit. But realized that the house was really not safe for the baby. So, she decided to escape. She also realized that she had no other options. That night when her husband went to sleep, she took her son and ran away from him. She walked miles and got tired. So, she sat on a street bench. They had nowhere to go and ended up alone. She was sad while thinking about it.

In the middle of night when she was thinking about her and her son's life, an old man with insomnia came to them. He was walking on the street and saw the helpless woman. He asked her what she was doing there at night. He also asked her what has happened to her. She replied that they had run away from her husband. She also informed him that he was going to search for them, so she was scared.

After knowing everything, that kind elderly man let she and her son to stay at his place. He welcomed them in and said that the place was safe and they had nothing to be afraid. He told Sinthia that he lived alone and that house was too big for him. So, she could stay there as long as she needed.

She was so grateful to that old man. She had no place to go and for the last five years she and her son were living at his place. He saved them when they were in trouble and became a good friend to her son. She is grateful to him for what he had done.

Dont' be afraid to leave those who hurt you. God will always send the right people your way.
