This is a beautiful love story. We should all be so lucky. The worst part of being with Ike Turner apart from the beatings was that their son looked exactly like Ike. The pain of a chimpanzee using and abusing you then you give him immortality through your womb and have to see him reincarnated in the son you love. Don’t give birth for a person you don’t want to see every day of your life. I love this woman and she will be missed. RIP Tina Turner. She taught women so much about how stupid love can make a woman. Especially a woman who has it all. Talent. Beauty. Money. She also taught us how to overcome an ugly and abusive past and come out smelling like a rose. I must read her book bcz I’m a sucker for happy endings. Rest Well Queen.
I have never understood how anyone can hit you more than twice and you stay. Lucky for her she didn’t end up killing him and ruin her career and life. There’s something alot of women don’t understand about abuse. It changes who you are. It fills you with rage. Eventually that rage comes out in terrible ways. You are no longer the good person you were when you met this person, you are the shadow version of your abuser and eventually you will become a worse version of him. If you don’t want to become what he is, you must leave at the first available opportunity. If you are being treated poorly in a relationship or being abused, get out. You won’t die from being single.
