I met with a woman last week that was referred to No More Tears for help. The woman, let’s call her Kathy, since I can’t use her real name to protect her identity, was perhaps the strongest person I have ever met in my life.
Kathy’s struggles began as a child because she lived with extremely abusive parents. She was baffled as she told me how a mother is supposed to love her children and encourage them to achieve great things in life, but Kathy was unfortunate and did not receive any encouragement, just beatings on a daily basis.
Kathy married a man that abused her physically and verbally. Her first born from her husband was abused since he was a child as well. Kathy remarried a pastor and a correctional officer whom she believed would never hurt her. It turned out that he was more abusive than her first husband.
It amazes me that a person can endure so much pain and still smile. Kathy was optimistic when she walked in my door. She said she was happy to meet with me and any little help would mean a great deal to her. I realized that Kathy yearned for someone to listen to her. We met again and she spoke for hours as I listened to everything she had been carrying with her since she was a child.
Kathy has three sons. The 20-year-old is away for college. The other two, 12 and 15 live with Kathy. She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology and used to work as a middle school teacher for eight years. No More Tears will help Kathy find a job and until she does, help her in any way we can. I gave Kathy a ride home to her apartment since she does not have a car. It was a one bedroom, which she has given to her sons while she sleeps on the floor in the living room. Her sons sleep on air mattresses with holes in them. It was all very sad to look at and I know I will think ten times before complaining about something when I think of the way Kathy and her kids are living.
I wanted to share this with all of you since you have too been wonderful supporters of my cause and mission. Keep Kathy in your prayers and hope that from now on her life only consists of good times.
Amazing person. Women are the bravest of all, and she proved that she is brave. I would really love an opportunity to know her.
