Single Moms on Soul: The Silent Cost of Domestic Violence
On the social app Soul, I've made an interesting observation: the proportion of single moms seems to be much higher than on other platforms. Every time I go on a date, I curiously ask them: why did you get divorced? But I stopped asking because almost every answer was the same: domestic violence.
I remember asking a girl why she got divorced, and she told me it was because of her husband's domestic violence. Another girl said it was because of her mother-in-law's domestic violence. It seemed that no matter what, the woman was always the victim. This pattern shocked and saddened me.
Today, I added another girl, and out of habit, I guessed: was it because of domestic violence? She sent me several shocked expressions: how did you know!!! I felt her shock and fear, as if I had uncovered a wound in her heart.
I started thinking, why do single moms on Soul have such a high proportion? Is it because this platform is more attractive to single mothers? Or is domestic violence more prevalent in Chinese society? I don't know the answer, but I know that these women's stories deserve to be heard and respected.
Through these stories, I saw a silent cost. These women were forced to endure the harm and shame of domestic violence, but their courage and resilience made them stand up and start new lives.
