Mrs Charlotte Green is a 76-year-old woman living in Edinburgh. She lived for 20 years in a domestic violence situation perpetrated by her husband. Her daughter was also the victim of verbal and physical abuse at the hands of the father. Mrs. Green’s husband died suddenly, and while Mrs Green and her best friend went away on holiday, her son, his wife and their son, aged 5 moved into the family home claiming that the father had left the property in his name. Mrs Green had had little experience in legal and financial matters during her marriage and was encouraged by her lawyer to sign papers to give up her home.
During this time her son began selling some of Mrs. Green personal possessions from the home. He deliberately ran over her garden with his car and gave away her gardening tools. He prevented her from using the driveway and insisted she park her car on the road, despite her being in severe hip pain awaiting hip surgery. The son constantly objected to her presence in the home. He would swear at her and call her nasty names. He often pushed her out of the way when they met in the hallway. Mrs Green, on these occasions, felt terrified and she would not give her son eye contact for fear he would hit her as her husband use to. There was an occasion when her son, in a rage, jammed her fingers in the bathroom door telling her she had used up all the hot water and that she was “a silly old woman who should be put away”. Mrs Green attended her Doctor with badly cut and bruised fingers, she told her Doctor she had been clumsy and jammed her fingers between two pieces of furniture she was moving. Mrs. Green found out her son had told neighbours that she was “senile” and to ignore her if they saw her crying in the street. At times her daughter-in-law would try to intervene but her son would shout and often hit his wife causing bruising to her face and arms. Eventually Mrs. Green’s son refused to allow her to eat with the family and she was barred from using the kitchen to cook food.
The Term Paper on Eli Whitney Mrs Green
By 1790 slavery was on the decline in America. Apart from tobacco, rice, and a special strain of cotton that could be grown only in very few places, the South really had no money crop to export. Tobacco was a land waster, depleting the soil within very few years. Land was so cheap that tobacco planters never bothered to reclaim the soil by crop rotation -- they simply found new land farther west. ...
Mrs. Green left the family home after her son accused her of stealing money from his wallet. He packed her bags and told her to leave or he would call the police. Mrs. Green went to the Salvation Army for help, she knew they had places where they took in ‘homeless’ people. She explained that she had become homeless due to not being able to pay her mortgage. She felt she couldn’t tell the truth because she was ashamed of her son’s behaviour and blamed herself for the situation she had found herself in.
