Women are supposed to
Be more supportive.
I remember a woman
On a course I sat
Saying that when a
Woman is found
Guilty of a serious crime
We hate them more.
They never went into an explanation
But it was an astute observation.
I think if they had
Brought it up later in due course
It would have been a discussion.
We expect women
To be the fairer sex.
My ol'mum took
My step dad's side
Leaving me with who?
That was what hurt
The most not
Being on my side.
But I know this
Happens in more
Families than not.
What if my ol'mum
Agreed with his
Drunk ranting and raving?
Where would I have gone?
