Hubby And I Saw Something Horrible Yesterday

I wish I had of done that too but I didn't because I wanted to be with my mom because she was so terrified of her surgery. Trust me, it was abuse. He was hitting the girl so that's abuse. He had gotten a hold of her hair and pulled her back and forth, that is abuse. I was caught between a hell of a rock and a hard place and never ever wish to be there again but if I am, I WILL get the tag number.

Well I dont think you should be feeling so guilty, either. You needed to get where you needed to get, and I am sure if this person is willing to abuse right in front of people it will not be the last time. Child abuse is a touchy thing for me, because I do not think just hitting a kid is abuse. Sometimes that kind of punishment is called for, in my opinion. However what you describe certainly sounds over the board, and abusive. I hope this poor child gets the help she needs, and the parent too if that is warranted. Any kind of abuse is wrong, kids, wives, husbands, pets whatever and these people usually do not stop.

You're right Oreo but it seems that the other responders don't agree. I guess they'd have to be in my shoes to really know. I so wanted to get involved and follow that danged car but my mom came first and foremost at the time and am sort of glad I went to her instead or we would've missed her going in. She was taken from the room not even 5 minutes after we got there. Had I followed the car, we wouldn't have made it in time. I hope this jerk gets his and does get caught and that the girl, who ever she is, gets away from him. How low can a man go when it comes to hitting a woman? I've been in the same situation too but I got out of it before he killed me. I can only hope for the same for her.

You know, I agree but in the frame of mind that I was in, I couldn't think straight and all I knew was getting to my mother in her time of need. Now that the surgery is over with and a day has gone by, I wish I had gotten his tag number so I could report it. I've been in really abusive situations too and never wished it on anybody but sometimes, the bystanders aren't in their right minds either. Not saying that they're abusive or they agree with it but depending on what's going on with them in their daily lives determines their frame of mind.

I know and have been wondering the same thing, is she alright and so on. I so wanted to get involved and follow that danged car but my mom came first and foremost at the time and am sort of glad I went to her instead or we would've missed her going in. She was taken from the room not even 5 minutes after we got there. Had I followed the car, we wouldn't have made it in time. I hope this scum bag gets his and does get caught and that the girl, who ever she is, gets away from him. How low can a man go when it comes to hitting a woman? I've been in the same situation too but I got out of it before he killed me. I can only hope for the same for her.

The way he was going at her, no, I don't think it'll be his last nor do I think he cared one bit that he was in a public area with others around so he will do it again thinking he'll get away with it but there will be someone who'll turn him in like I should have. I did want to get involved and follow his car but my mom came first and foremost at the time and am sort of glad I went to her instead or we would've missed her going in. She was taken from the room not even 5 minutes after we got there. Had I followed the car, we wouldn't have made it in time. I hope this low life gets his and does get caught and that the girl, who ever she is, gets away from him. How low can a man go when it comes to hitting a woman? I've been in the same situation too but I got out of it before he killed me. I can only hope for the same for her.

That man was a pig. I pity the woman as I, like you, know what its like togo through it. When I see discussions like this I sorta relive part of it but thats ok with me because I remain thankful I amnot in that situation any longer.

I was behind him in the outside lane then he started swerving into my lane then all of the sudden while he was hitting the girl, he made a quick left turn so I couldn't get his tag so fast and not knowing if he had a gun....

Thank you!! Gosh, I'm really beating myself up over it even more now because so many others are saying that I should've called 911 but if they were in my shoes then they might have said differently. I'm the only family nearby besides my dad and I'm their only daughter so mom really needed me so she was my main focus although I did want to help this girl, his daughter or wife, but I just didn't have the time and now it's eating me up because I've been in that very same situation that that girl was in and nobody came to my aid. The last time this one boyfriend beat me so bad that he nearly killed me and I screamed for help but no body came so I'm remembering that but at the time all I could think about is getting to my mom to be with her. I got there just in time, like 5 minutes before they took her out of the room down to the OR. Had I stuck around and tried to get that license plate then I would not have made it in time before she was taken. After her surgery and she's home resting, she calls me and tells me thank you for being there for her in her time of great need and that she really appreciated that because it shows how much I loved her. That meant A LOT to me and now I'm glad that I did make it in time but at the expense of this poor gal though.... sheesh, I can't win, can I?

If I had've stuck around to get the information that I needed to report him, I'd have missed seeing mom before they took her into surgery, they took her about 5 minutes after we got there, so for that reason I'm very glad that I didn't stick around but then again, that girl needed help and for that, I feel terrible! I've been in that girls shoes and it's not walk in the park but I did get away. I just hope that girl does the same thing or that someone had turned his ugly @ss in because he's done it once, he'll do it again but I hope he doesn't kill her or anyone else before he does get turned in.
After mom got home and rested a few hours, we all rested a few hours and she calls me to tell me thank you for being there at her time of need for she really appreciated that because she really knows she's loved. I told her to hush hush because of course I love her but there's no need to be thanking me or hubby because of course we care and love her!! Now because we made it just in the nick of time, I'm even more glad that we didn't stick around or follow that car.

you did make the right choice hun..I also have been in them shoes, 10 years being beat on from my first husband..I think that someone will see what that guy is doing and like I said in time he will get his...dont feel bad hun it was one of them choices we have to make at times.

I should've done that but I didn't have a pen and paper ready to get it and it all happened so quickly. It was either be there for my mom or get the tag number by following that car and I choose my mom. My mind was so scattered as it was so I knew I wouldn't be able to remember the tag number to give to the police so I had to let it go but being that I had to choose, it was hard to do but my mom came first and I think of "What if she didn't make it through the surgery?" then I'd have felt even worse. I do pray that someone did see it like we did and reported his @ss because he needs to be put in jail for a long long time and needs anger management as well. I can only hope and hope that the girl is ok.

Don't feel bad you're a lovely person, I pray he'll get what he deserves too and the girl is OK. Take care.

THANK YOU ANTIQUELADY!! That's exactly what was going through my mind!! And then getting there just merely 5 minutes before they took her from her room and down to the OR. I mean literally 5 minutes!! Had I stuck around and gotten the tag number after digging for a piece of paper and a pen, I would've missed seeing my mom. Thanks for telling me that, it does make me feel a little bit better but I do hope I so hope that someone saw what we saw and reported him!!

I HOPE THEY REPORTED HIM & SOMEBODY SLAPPED HIM up side the head. U did what u had to do.
