- Thank you for this editorial. It is all so true and all so important for
Caymanian society to stop shifting the blame over to the victims of abuse,
who are usually the women. It takes a lot of strength to leave an abusive
mate, and try to protect the children while supporting them and yourself. It
also doesn't help when the "self righteous people" start spouting things
like one wife of a preacher told me when I left an abusive situation: "You
must remember it's for better or for worse". I told her "Well it can't get
much worse". Unfortunately it did, but God prevailed, and today I can say
"Free at last, Free at last. Praise God, I am free at last". My advice to
other women is... Hold your head high, and decide to make it on your own. It
may be tough, but you can feel good about yourself - Naomi D. Oyog
