Don't ask why Janay Palmer married him. Ask why anyone would blame a victim.

23. Our shelter here is building pet space because the abusers kill the

pets '100%' and so they stay because they can't leave. Even if you put the psychology out of the equation, they stay because no one will help them, they don't have any way to support themselves, they have children ... running with five kids is hard, etc.

We have a victim here that I wrote about a while back, someone beaten half the death, then pushed face first into boiling water. That girl refused to talk because he 'loved' her and she was pregnant (she wasn't). She was royally fucked up and should be dead. It is easy to say why and the rest when it didn't happen to you.

That beautiful girl has a broken spirit. If that was my daughter, I would be in jail right now because I would have taken an ax handle to that fucker's head. He is not moved, nor is he remorseful. Not. One. Bit. Try and buck that after probably years of abuse. He's an NFL star and she is his whipping post.

The trial of our local abuser ... 'the worst case of domestic violence in Peninsula history' is coming up eventually. These things crawl along. Another reason not to go.

God bless, Janay. I hope he doesn't kill her.
