So today was the day. My great aunt, my grandma's sister, went to her house to pick her up, and brought her over to the house we were at. At the house waiting were my great uncle, me, my dad, and my aunt (dad's sister) and her husband who both came to Louisiana from Texas. My grandma had no idea we were all here. She was brought into the camper outside the house where we staged the "intervention" as my aunt called it.
My aunt went on a rant for about an hour to my grandma, telling her she had to leave that house and her husband who screams and hollers and mentally abuses her. My aunt brought up points from their childhood when he'd beat her, my dad, and their siblings. Maw had told us that within the next two weeks she was finally going to take everything and go; she had to pack up everything first, cuz all she had with her was a small bag with her computer in it. Then I went on my wild rant on how I didn't want her living with that monster, and how I hated her being there with him all by herself, and if I could've been there, I would have. After everyone calmed down, we decided to go back into the house so Maw could visit with everyone.
I just hope...that in two weeks' time, hopefully sooner, she gets the hell out of that house. She's stubborn though...she doesn't want to get the law involved, she just wants to leave peacefully. But how would she know if papa doesn't snap and hurt her in any way? He hasn't laid a hand on her in over twenty years but who's to say he won't in the next two weeks? I'm scared...hopefully I can sleep tonight. When the time she leaves comes, I'll make an update on the situation.
