Here we go again another case of Domestic Violence, ladies get away from these relationships, the abuser stated that he is not finish as yet he is coming back and if he gets that opportunity to come back she may be dead, her kids may be also and her sister who knows what his plans are. As I read here they only know him as Shawn so it seems that they don’t know much about him, how are you ladies dating and being in a relationship with a man and don’t know anything about him just his first name??? That’s very bad. I wish her a speedy recovery and please go into hiding somewhere he don’t know about not your sister’s home because he knows where she is living and that is not a safe place to be.
