The Scorpion Stings is a letter written as a catharsis for an abusive marriage. Feelings, thoughts, and emotions explode in rapid succession as life, children, and friendships were tested and affected. This is a must-read for anyone who wonders how women can endure abusive relationships. Does she continue for the sake of the children? Does she hope that something will change, and that tomorrow will be better?The pain is real and is felt through the text as you enter the most intimate thoughts and experiences in the author's life. The wounds may never heal completely, but they can become less severe. A helpful application of this situation is in the series of "lessons learned" at the conclusion of the retelling. These lessons may provide help and guidance to other women caught in similar circumstances.The best summary is in the author's own words: The sting of a scorpion hurts and burns and lasts. The reason I titled this as I did is because scorpions are predators and killers. The experience I had being stung happened once, but I have never forgotten it. The memories are there.Now, let it go! Release it! Break the chains! This has been even tougher to do but writing down a number of my ugly memories has been cathartic like expelling sickening air from your lungs and taking in crystal clear breaths. It has been very good to put it down, realizing that I didn't imagine it or embellish
