Maria’s Story
In the article I read, Maria’s
Story, Maria shared her relationships that she has been in. Maria was in two
emotionally and physically abusive relationships. Her first relationship was
when she was 15 years old and having family problems. So she was desperate for
love. Why didn’t she say something when she saw the first sign that her
boyfriend was abusive? Maria was scared and “[her] intuition was silenced by
the hunger for love [she] had” (Maria’s Story). It wasn’t till later on when
she started to realize that she was suffering more than she can imagine. Her
boyfriend would cuss at her and call her inappropriate names when he wouldn’t
get his way. Always bringing her down. The relationship kept getting worse,
Maria’s boyfriend started to abuse her physically. She would blame herself for
his actions. Faith was the only thing that kept her from giving up. She finally
ended that relationship. Later on in time she met a guy on dating website.
Right from the start Maria noticed
how her second boyfriend was. How he would compare her to his female best
friend that he wanted but couldn’t have. They would always have problems due
that reason but Maria wouldn’t let go. “This all sounds pretty terrible but I
considered him a weakling, an unloved child who needs a mother”, Maria tried to
help but she would never was able to be good enough for him (Maria’s Story). Maria
made a friend and that friend helped her to get out of the relationship.
It is always good to have at least
one good close friend to vent too and be there for you when you need someone.
It is not healthy to keep so much pain and words left unsaid inside, especially
if you are going to an abusive relationship. When you see the first signs that
you are in unhealthy relationship, it is best to get out of it before it is to
late.
