I would rather be with the support and company of my whole family and friends in times of trouble than alone here in this foreign country. Only a family who doesn't care of the welfare of their relative would tell their daughter/sister to stay in a relationship or patch things up with the husband who abuses her. As I have always told my husband, if things didn't go well with our marriage. I'll pack my bags and leave this country. Like I did when I was living in Singapore.
Excellent post Rayna...you saved me the time replying in not so eloquent terms as yourself.
