nail on head
Then one has this problem one woman had, 70 years old in a nursing home. Her 60 year old husband would come to visit and demand the door to her room be kept closed while he was there.
Her children from a former marriage pitched a fit when one of the staff mentioned that after the visits their mother had unaccounted bruises in her vaginal area and other places on her body.
At one time in winter when he left his wife was found in the room with the window wide open and she covered with ice water from the pitcher at her bed side.
We all knew what he was up to but could not prove it, he was with in his rights to visit his wife and control her health care.
One of the nurses suggested to the woman's grand child they set up a hidden camera in the room. The Home would not allow this as they feared a law suit if one of their Nurses was caught doing the slightest thing wrong.
The camera was set up anyway and the tapes proved their worse fears. The family took the tapes to the DA and the home Administration, result was the tapes were illegally taken and could not be used in Court.
What to do, finally they moved the woman to a room with 3 bed mates all mentally sharp. Excuse was in the woman's condition she was too far from the Nurses station. Husband threw a fit even as the monthly cost to the family went way down from single room to one in a semi ward.
The husband used his wife's money to hire lawyers to fight this, but word had gone out to other Homes in the area about the problems and there was no place to remove her to in the area.
He finally moved her into an apartment with 24/7 health aids on scene. To our great sadness we read her Orb. a couple months later.
Moral to the Gays out there that want marriage so bad, If you have family or children, once you marry in a State that allows it, whoever you marry now has total controll of your life, the partner now can oversee to the detriment of your children, parents, friends.
Same as to heterosexuals that have children from another relationship. The first family and children must come first before a new mate.
