When Amy Jones married her high school sweetheart, Chris Rezos, in 1995, she never suspected that he would turn into an abuser who would eventually try to take her life. For almost a decade, Chris controlled nearly every facet of Amy's life, mentally and verbally abusing her. But, in 2004, Amy decided enough was enough; she packed up her children and belongings and left him. However, Chris had other plans.
During the legal proceedings, Chris met Amy in a hotel to discuss the terms of their divorce, when --out of nowhere-- he attacked her. Chris beat, choked, and tried to drown her in the bathtub. Another hotel guest heard her screams and called 911-- a call that would save her life.
Still, Chris wasn't willing to give up. After posting bond three weeks later, Chris hid in her car and shot her twice in the head. What he didn't realize was that Amy wouldn't give up either. Amy survived the injuries, while Chris was finally put away.
What I found interesting about this article is that it shows how women in life may chose bastards to live with, that maybe at the time they got married didn't know they were bastards or had mental issues, & that some may have the courage to say something or to leave them, but that may have a consequence of what the spouse they leave might do to them. This is very common, especially in latin countries, where the "man" is taught to be like a man, by both the mother & the father, making the child disrespect the mother, in which later in life, the child may or even will, disrespect other women & his own wife, just to prove himself a man, leading to killing of women, cheating, etc. I picked it because it is very common here in Latin America, in which any, including our fathers could be like that, & also that femicides are in the increase because of "machismo" present in latin countries.
Interesting points were made here. I was a victim of domestic violence,verbally, mentally, and ultimately, physically. I ended up "escaping" and moving across country under cover of night. It's been 7 years.
