NOT MY HUSBAND!

 

Women will do almost anything for their children.

They will work the most dehumanizing of jobs, they will work from morning till sunset often with little regard for their own well-being. They will do anything to protect their children, except leave their man.

We have often heard of so many stories of wives finding out their children have been raped or sexually assaulted by their husbands or boyfriends only for them to do nothing. Nothing except threaten their daughters to silence, label them as hoes or throw them away from home. Anyone reading this will probably think of the inhumanity of all this, a mother abondoning a child for the sake of her marriage. But numbers don’t lie, these stories are often littered in newspapers and heartbreaking novels that follow how some child killed herself or how she became the person she is now. Often the person is an epitome of some social ill and or evil.

But it is society that creates these monsters. Society will tell a woman that it is her duty to protect her children from anyone but this doesn’t often include her partner. Society will teach that a woman’s most important duty is to be a wife after which she can become a mother but even then her most important duty is the first. That is why she will serve food to her husband first before she serves her children. The order of importance is and has always been wife, mother,  and whatever else is there. 

You see from the time we are young, women are taught that the greatest aspiration there is is to be someone’s wife. Having a successful career is fine, being a happy person is also alright too but out of all these being a wife is the best.

 After screwing this over and over again in our heads they will instill fear in any one of us who try to go against this. She is called a prostitute she who is of age and chooses not to be married. Later in her life she will be called evil, an abnormally and labeled a very lonely woman. Society will take such women and give them as examples of what happens when women try and defy their only purpose in life, marriage. Because society is more preoccupied with creating good wives than it is in creating happy women.

And these children, what happens to them? Many grow up to become emotional cripples, living to pass on the hurt and the pain they suffered, only they do it to more people. Building up walls to their hearts and robbing their way through peoples pockets. A sad ending to a once happy child.

So l ask you, is your husband or partners life more important than yours and your children’s combined? You see society creates monsters but it is up to us to decide if we become monsters ourselves.
