"Rick-a-ticks"

From his observation and knowledge, he knew how men treated women in the Caribbean; thought he was making a difference in her deplorable life. Also as a social worker, saw deplorable conditions in males-female interaction in the community. Women were only used for sexual purposes, production of children and men move-on to another woman. It was his last attempt to render help to another human with children; who had gotten attached to him on return visits but wanted more love with little to share with him. Then the begging for money got worst; she became angry, frustrated on not receive the hand-outs and claiming there is no love in the relationship; even expressed, it was her right to get and his duty to look after his wife; within a day or a week, requests were made for more money. It started to become apparent to Moses from what he heard, people in the Caribbean believe money grows on trees in North America; realising it was a bad habit developing and thought she must learn to make do with what was received; as a result, he became a listener, knowing it is hard to fight fire with fire; refusing to adhere to her repeated wishes and kept to his plan; giving rise to an array of verbal attacks in the form of redirected inner negative thoughts of hate; flying outwards towards him from his wife. To Moses, the habit become an unfruitful seed she planted; bad seed planted exposing hate, rejections and negative energies bringing forth no good fruit. In his mind, she was a gardener who was reluctant to daily tend to her garden, bringing it to maturity; failing to bring a productive end to an abundance harvest in her marriage; repeatedly conforming her refusal to build a better home and life of unity in their marriage. What is remarkable he married a woman who had many children living with her. On one visits, his wife told him it was his duty to give her what she wanted or she would do what she has to do to get it, as a young woman. He also claimed, leaving clothes and on his return, they were gone; it is not the clothes disappearing but his wife should have protected them. On another visit, he had posted barrels for his wife and children. After picking them up took them home; heard his wife remarked, her child father who also receives things for his family; shares it with them so she has to do the same in return. In her thinking, he is the father of the children so he is entitled to receive.

How can a woman who claims she loves her husband make an open statement while he was around?

If she got married (after being mistreated by her child's fathers in the past) to a man who took it upon himself to be united before God and man, preform such an unbecoming verbal act without shame or thinking?

Was it a disrespectful act she either wanted him to heard or did not know he heard?
