[carey]

believe it or not, my first wife used to try to beat up on me. and my wife now was a battered spouse, too. odd that we hooked up... my sister was a victim, too.

anyway, I can tell you from personal experience that the popular image of some fat redneck in a snot-stained sleeveless T and a beer in each hand just doesn't hold up these days. it can be anyone, anywhere.

I guess my point is that you, me, and everybody need to check ourselves if we start to get too intense when arguing with our loved ones. all it takes is one quick, stupid slap, and then you're in a world of shit. everything you've heard about wife-beaters in prison is true. if word gets out you're doing time for wife-beating, by the time you get out you'll be shitting cauliflowers.
