From the book Crazy Brave by Joy Harjo, there are
several men in Joy’s life that are abusive. Especially, from a men to a women
that are getting the treatment. I think it’s because of the decision that the
men choose to do what they wanted to be. Example someone like Joy’s father who does
it to her mother. He chooses to be a crazy drunk then become violent. I think
it’s one of the main points that Joy’s mother choose to divorce with him. If I
was Joy’s mother I would do the same. For me it doesn’t matter how much I love
him, but because of his domestic abuse to the point I can’t stand no more, I’ll
have to divorce with him just to protect myself. If it was like arguments
between us both, I could still accept because it’s only the words that are out.
It could be hurtful inside, but I could forgive most of the time.
Some woman that I think the man had abuse them accept
that behavior because the things that the man did well for her overcome the bad
part of him. From the book in pg. 145 showed Joy’s Cherokee boyfriend apologizing
and promising to her. Then she continued to stay with him after the apology and
saw her son and her boyfriend planting behind the apartment. The situation
right there showed her that she can still trust him but not fully. It simply
that those people is weak. They had to be weak to get the woman’s trust to them
again.
