post 5

"Within the first four months of my relationship with G, I had lost forty pounds and weighed a pitiful ninety-six pounds. The stress of the physical and verbal abuse had taken a toll on my body and spirit. Life at our house was torture. It was common to see me with bruises up and down my body" (Steffans 87).

--I guess this could be the down fall of Karrine, but it s also the turning point in her life. G's beating her made her weak and made her strong. And when she conceived a child by G, she wants her life to be different.


Why when she gets a child she wants to change her life?
Is her own life not important anymore?
