Dolores Claiborne was a brave girl, because she take care of an elderly woman arrogant, wealthy and very sick, Vera .Dolores suffered a lot of domestic abuse, verbal, psychologically, and physical. Also, she discovered from her daughter that her own husband raped Selena. Her husband was an alcoholic, of course was a dysfunctional family, but why she did not acused him to the police? I think she took the revange  about her daughter, Dolores was so painful and tired of her miserable life, she do not care about the consecuenses.

Wow sounds like it was a good read. I think that it takes a special person to take care of the elderly. There has to some empathy and lots of patience of the sick elderly patients. It sounds like Dolores Claiborne went through a lot in her life. It’s sad to say that domestic and verbal abuse it a common thing in many families. It takes a strong person to break the cycle and get out of those relationships. Often times it’s years after abuse that someone is strong enough and has taken enough abuse to leave.
