Have you ever noticed that battered women in abusive divorce disputes have a trail of princes, toads and chickens in their wake, and an occasional wise man off the court?
It’s as though they attract saviors or they make saviors out of those they cross. Then, when the “saving” is not in the interest of the prince, a chicken may evolve. Or, as in the case of legal counsel, far too often, a toad rises to the plate to campaign on the battered woman’s behalf. Every once in a while a wise man will merely show up and mysteriously disappear.

Battered mothers tell me about the rage they harbor over their perpetrators use of the system to batter them. And when I ask if it is anything like what was felt when beaten verbally, emotionally or physically, they usually say, “no.” “It’s not at all like that,” they claim.
In fact, they tell me that anger is not what is felt. It is fear…violation…and severe emotional pain. I believe this is exactly what would be expected in the moment of an altercation when you are a victim of domestic violence.
