To me, it didn't come across that Verma Strelow was a battered housewife as much as you would think from what is suggested by the synopsis. She was not afraid to confront the man who was involved with gang raping her. It seemed like she was abusive to Bill back. Maybe she wasn’t but I felt like the only difference was he probably hit her more. But those instances were so few in the book it almost felt like they just tried to stay out of each other’s way.
Bill Burke always told Verma he didn't love her. He was very honest from the beginning that he didn't want to be with her, so she seemed a little delusional with thinking he would say it to her. Verma seemed like a strong person but yet she didn’t have the strength to take her boys and leave. It’s probably the way things were like back then, but I couldn’t feel too sorry for Verma who insisted she was in love with Bill after a week and insisted on being with him when he clearly said she was a whore.
The traits of the parents continued in the older sons as Fred is a drinker and has a wife Cheri who is SO abusive I don’t understand why the family didn’t stand up more for Little Freddie. I would like to know what happened to him as I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t totally messed up and in a mental institution. That’s a memoir that would be hard to read as his abuse seemed much worse than what was mentioned for Verma.
