She didn't go crazy over wallpaper, kill her husband, or even leave him-what she did was worse. The best part? This isn't a story. It's real.

So a common theme that I have noticed in these stories we have read is how women react to the circumstances in which they find themselves. Especially pertaining to their marriage. In Trifles, The Yellow Wallpaper, and A Doll's House, the women all found ways to retaliate the hurt they have felt. Well I went on a call a few weeks back that really tie well into what we have been reading about. I hope this doesn't disturb you...

We responded on a domestic violence, this really old couple that had been married for over 30 years. Well on this particular day, this old granny wife found out her husband was having an affair. Yes, i know, disgusting! We we got there and she was screaming and hollering about how their whole marriage had been based on a lie because of his unfaithfulness. So what did she do? How did this women deal with her life circumstance? She tried to claw his eyes out. We got there to find our patient, an 86 year old male, bleeding from and around his eyes. She even bursted blood vessels on the white part of his eyes! She used her finger nails. We were shocked when we found out that he didn't go blind with that type of trauma. 

Anyway, the things women do when they reach a breaking point!!!
