In regards to my grandmother there is nothing to be sorry for. It happened that one time and after her family came with pots and pans and started beating his ass it never happened again. She even stayed with him after the incident. But that's my whole point. Personally speaking, I don't care what the situation is, there is nothing worst than taking shit from anybody. She could stay with friends or family, or shit she could sleep in the street. But anything would be better than just doing nothing, because when you do nothing, nothing changes. And if the roles were reversed, I'd be saying the same thing about him. I've been bullied before in high school. It isn't until you stand up to your bully that they learn to never pick on you again.
