But when you have the grey areas that is when thing are done unfairly, if it is a hard rule everyone knows where they stand regarding violence. No more "kick him out" but "let him stay"
Rock and Ana were a couple as well and she is not doing too badly now, is she? Might be the best thing that could happen to Mary, she would have somewhere to live, earn money and be away from him!
So VH have a chance to get their house in order by sending a clear message to all managers and tenants. Violence will not be tolerated and violence means eviction.
He can't be allowed to stay, next time he will probably put her in hospital or worse and there will be a next time with him, either with Mary or somebody else!
This is the reply I got from VH
"We consider this behavior unacceptable. We condemn him. Violence is unacceptable on our project. We will definitely take action."
Be interesting to see what they do considering the precedent they set with Dean.
You could tell from her response and reaction that the violence was a pattern of behaviour in this relationship and is unlikely to change while they are together. Domestic abusers abuse!
I agree violence should never be condoned but this guy was different from Dean because he was absolutely vicious and you could tell from her reaction that it wasn't the first time he had beaten her!
