Love American Style

I have a relative, someone I have known my whole life, whom I grew up with. Beautiful, generous and amazingly intelligent, she was the envy of everyone, but lately she's taken up with a dangerous crowd and now she's in an abusive relationship. Her children are being neglected as well as her work and her reputation and family's name are in tatters.

She has been avoiding me and other family members and loved ones who tried to talk to her; with her abuser's flunkies running interference and turning us away at the door. She has become secretive and paranoid; getting her to talk with me was going to be hard. But the time was far past to sit by... it was time to give her a call.

1. You should probably include the third paragraph so peopel
know what this is about. As it is it sounds a bit like an after school special.

But the article is good.

2. Well, it left out the important part
"America's on drugs!"

However, the Cult of Stupid really do remind me of battered spouses who stay, something I've written before.
