Good day mamas and papas in the house, please I need your advice on how to handle this matter. I feel really bad, my conscience is pricking me badly, these children are suffering just because I didn't speak up, how do I make this right please. I sought advice and I was asked to mind my business and I did and now my friend is no more. My friend and I have been friends for over 20 years, way before we both got married. While I was lucky to have married a wonderful man, my friend wasn't so fortunate. Her husband would always beat her, shout at her in public and many times she told me of how he forcefully made love to her. My friend was suffering and smiling in her husband house, after all the beating, she would apply the makeup and wear the most expensive eye glass to cover up all the bruises. All our other friends were envious of her wealth because her husband is very rich, some of them even said they fought their husband because they couldn't buy half of the things my friends husband was getting for her but they I was the only one all that she was really going through, how she lost 2 pregnancies out of depression and constant beatings before God now finally helped her through her third pregnancy and she delivered a baby girl through CS. The day of the naming ceremony, her husband beat her because he said she was talking to another man while he was calling her and this is a man that follows everything in skirt. That beating got to her that 3 days after the naming, she fell terribly ill and was admitted back at the hospital but she didn't make it. She died after telling me how her husband beat her even knowing she had undergone CS, I cried but there was nothing I could do because I was trying to mind my business. During her funeral, her husband went above and beyond, he spent money on her funeral, went as far as doing a full page advert for her in a popular newspaper. I still couldn't do anything, it my word against his, 7 months after the incident, he married another wife and claimed he needed someone to raise his child so people didn't crucify him much. It's been 8 years since the incident and this guy already have 2 children with his other wife. I saw my friend daughter in church yesterday and she looked so unkept while her step brothers were looking dashing. Then her step mother kept shouting at her and hitting her. The moment I saw her beat her, I imagined how her father was beating her husband and I knew, yet I did nothing. I felt bad and immediately, I got up from where I was sitting and went to help the child. I scolded the step mother and she insulted me, I made sure I created a scene and the father came out to apologize to me and say that my friend's daughter is very stubborn that she needs firm hand. I was disgusted by him. My husband was very angry that I interfered in their business and hasn't said a word to me since yesterday but I feel for this child and I don't want her to suffer the way her mother did. Please, how can I help her without upsetting my husband?
