The Real Reason Domestic Violence Victims Don’t Come Forward
<p>I close my eyes and let out a big sigh, in an attempt to empty the negative thoughts from my body. Maybe by doing so, I will somehow bring the positive energy in with my next breath. Maybe that’s just wishful thinking.</p>
<p>“So what is wrong with it, give me the unfiltered and ugly truth”, I ask the mechanic. I already know he sees me as a mark, and he thinks I have no clue what the problem with my car is or what the possible cost of the solution may be. He is right about that. My car could very well run on fairy dust and kitten wishes for all I know. This subject is so far outside of my wheelhouse, the wheel has separated from the house.</p>
<p>“Your CV Axle needs to be replaced, mam, before you wind up in a ditch or a multi-car accident. Part plus cost of labor won’t set you back too much, maybe $400 or $500?”</p>
<p>He may as well have told me I need to find a thousand fairies and steal all their dust. That goal would actually be more attainable at this moment than coming up with a spare $500 for some part I’ve never heard of that is refusing to do its damned job. I ask how dire this situation is and how much longer can I avoid replacing this stupid axle thing. He advises that if I am lucky I will make it back home in the car as is.</p>
