It Was Always Safer Outside

I've been reading about Jennifer Hudson's family in the media and it brings back all the nastiness of my family. The anger and abuse and murder.

After my dad murdered my mom, he did 3 years in Vacaville. After that he was "rehabilitated" and set free. We were all afraid of him. I refused to give him my address or phone # after he took a swing at me while I was at work.

In recovery we talk about alcoholism being a deadly disease but, the rest of the family is just as much at risk, at risk of being battered, put in the hospital or murdered.

It happens all the time. The wife leaves, the husband can no longer control her so, he kills her.

Sometimes it's just her. Sometimes it's her and the kids. But, seldom does he kill himself. It's just the final move of checkmate. He takes out everyone and "wins" the game.

We are still suffering the stupidity and drama of OJ. It sounds like this brother in law of Jennifer Hudson's was already in jail for murder. When they let him out he murdered again.

Once again the murdering man is let off to roam our streets.
