SOUL GUIDE LINDA MOONEY
Psychic agony aunt and angel therapist
QUESTION: DEAR Linda, It is with great shame that I look for your assistance. I am a male in my early thirties, have a well-paid job and have lived with my partner for the past five years. Lately things have been getting worse. She is jealous, possessive and controlling, and very recently she has become violent towards me. On one occasion I couldn’t attend work for a couple of days because of a black eye I endured during one of her rants. I am so ashamed to admit that I avoid family and friends for fear they will find out what is going on. I don’t know where to turn. I now realise that she is out of control and that I actually fear for my safety. Please help and many, many thanks. B ANSWER: Dear B, You have nothing to be ashamed of. You are not the first male to experience domestic violence, and, as you are aware, there is a certain stigma attached to it. Males are usually brought up to believe they are the stronger sex, and feel weak when they find themselves in a position like this. Yet if you saw a woman being hit by her partner I’m sure you would be outraged. Firstly, you are correct, your partner is out of control, and needs to seek professional advice. Secondly, as hard as it may be for you, you need to remove yourself from this situation as quickly as possible. The truth is that you are in danger, and need to take the necessary steps for your own protection. Without help your partner will never change and chances are things will only get worse. By taking action on your own part, it will force your partner to face facts and seek the help she needs. Your own selfworth and confidence will also need support and there are many male support groups available that would make a good starting point for you. You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect as all human beings do. This behaviour is unacceptable.
FIRST CARD: TWO OF AIR
You’re struggling with a decision. You have conflicting emotions or thoughts about which way to move, so you’re avoiding making a choice. Intuitively, you know what to do, but you’re afraid to act and are at an impasse. Have faith in your own wisdom and move forward! There’s a stalemate between parties and a compromise is called for. Find an impartial mediator to forge a resolution.
ADVICE/OBSTACLE CARD: KING OF AIR
You may receive valuable advice from an intelligent professional. It’s important that your decisions be fair and equitable to all involved. Don’t hesitate to consult a third party, if necessary, yet speak your mind with confidence.
OUTCOME: QUEEN OF FIRE
Now is the time to stretch your wings and really fly. You’ve been underestimating yourself and your abilities. Believe in all that you can do and accomplish. You’ll naturally attract other people to assist you. Assert your independence and creativity.
