After the circumstances surrounding Benoit's death were released, the only thing I could think of was my best friend.
The rages have been getting worse- I've been told too many times the lie "ran into the wall, no biggie." But I know. Her boyfriend's a pill addict and very abusive- mentally usually more than physically. He's out of work, stays home with their son so they can save on daycare, and when I met him, was the coolest guy....
Yet when he got laid off his job due to a disability, he- changed. The pills became his escape and shortly turned him into a monster.
Her brother has moved in with them- more for his reasons than any of this- so I have some peace of mind knowing he's there. Yet I made her promise NEVER to be alone with her boyfriend after yesterday- even told her "you have a key to my place- go there even if I'm not there if you have to."
I have tried to get her to leave- given her solution after solution, number after number, even offered to have someone escort him by gunpoint to the nearest bus station. Yet the same thing: "once such-and-such happens he'll be okay." I do not understand.
I have- visions.....
Have told her about them....
Can only pray she heeds their warning.
I have done all I can.
