So this relationship was the main source of control Becky had over my life. When she wanted something or needed something done I did it. I would do an...ything Becky asked or demanded I do.This fateful enlightening evening we were taking a bath, something we did often together in our small home. Becky was upset with me because I had not fully helped, or rather solely picked up our room while she played on her bed. We had gotten in a bit of trouble because it hadn’t been done. So here we were in. He arrived at the office and parked his car on the executive spot that belonged to him. After all, it was his company."Hello Amanda" he said to his secretary."Hello sir. Happy birthday to your wife." she answered.'Drat!' he thought. 'That's why she didn't kiss me goodbye!' Being a successful businessman made him forget her birthday completely. 'I will have to do some shopping during lunchtime.'The morning passed by and at 12:00 he left the building to go to the mall to find a present. He didn't. The doctors were very clear about how things were going to progress. “You will, over the next ten years or so, loose strength and muscular function. You will need to have splints made to keep your joints from contracting; eventually you will drown in your own secretions as the muscles in your throat loose function. Mentally you will have no impairments.” Meaning I will be cognoscente and aware throughout the whole process, trapped inside my own body while I slowly drowned in my own spit. I. I sobbed my heart out and begged for mercy while stamping my feet.The Head took no notice of my pleading and seemed to swing the cane even harder the more the tears were cascading down my face. When the thrashing finished, I was in so much pain that all I wanted to do was hold my hot stinging palms under a cold tap and pray that the stinging would stop.Mrs Cairns told us although she was sorry it had come to this, she could see we had learnt our lesson. She added the caning would prove most.
