This One Sings NO "Song Of Bernadette," Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  The story of Bernadette Sugrim, pictured above, shows why I love Little Sister in "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" so much. Sometimes, girls, the stronger person has to take matters into their own hands.  As Bernadette's story proves.

                                    You could say Bernadette was a victim of spousal abuse, which no one deserves, and for whom I have the utmost compassion for the sufferers.  But when I heard that, before she married husband, Brian, when she still had a chance to extricate herself, Bernadette witnessed him behaving violently toward his brother, her brother and his father, I wondered why she did not get the hell away from him, then!!!!!!!!!  And still she said, "I loved him, and when you love someone......."

                                      Already I want to ask, "Honey, what is WRONG with you?????"  But it only gets better. Bernadette and Brian get married, and he is definitely Mr. Control Freak.  When the kids are in elementary school, he decides to give them boxing lessons, which is really an excuse for him to beat up these kids himself.  And Bernadette does not intervene.  True, all the time he threatens that if she does, he will kill them all, but, still, you protect your children--even if it means being evasive--in order to get them away from a situation they had no choice getting into, in the first place.

                                        In 2003, he came to her, and confessed to murdering prostitute Linda Gibson, because he wanted to--and because of her resemblance, he said, to Bernadette!!!!!!!!!!!!  Darling, if you hadn't already--which you should have--that was your cue to take those kids and RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                          But she didn't.

                                          It took her daughter, Skye, who was 11, and had been subjected to beatings and being tied up alongside the family dog, to escape, run to the neighbors, who called 911, arrested Brian, got him to trial, convicted him, where he is in prison for life.

                                            Mother Bernadette and daughter Skye both testified against this sicko THING!!!!!!!!!!   It helped in his conviction.  Today, they have moved away and are enjoying a happier life.

                                               But I have to wonder--are they??????  Remember, "Little Sister don't miss, when she aims her gun!" and Skye did not miss when seeking help from authority!!!!!!!!  She is the "Little Sister" of this story, and its REAL hero!!!!!!!!!!  Mama Bitch Coward would still be cowering in a corner, making excuses, while her children are beat in front of her, if it had not been for Skye!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                I have to wonder about what kind of upbringing Bernadette herself had!
I have to wonder how the children are going to deal with the trauma they escaped from.  And, frankly, I would be worried about Bernadette, who, for all her testifying against her husband, was not much of a mother, when it came time for a crisis.  Women like Bernadette are easy prey for abusers, and they know how to seek them out.  Could Bernadette, still attractive, fall in with another one of these types??????  You better believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                 Take your brother, Skye, and run!!!!!!!!!!!!  Get away from this cowardly bitch!!!!!!!!!!  Go to Children's Services, go anywhere that will provide you with a stable environment.  Because, even with Monster Daddy in jail, being with Bernadette is no guarantee!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                   Charge her with negligence, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
