If you are a huge Charlize Theron fan, you will most likely already know this story…
It is the story of how her mother protected her cub. And might be the reason Charlize is with us today challenging us out of our compacency. 
Charlize says, “Reading about it is painful because it comes across so nonchalant.”
Well, I won’t be nonchalant about it.
The details are:
Charlize’s father and mother had been divorced for a while. Then Charles, an abusive alcoholic, forced his way into the family home one holiday season in 1991 wielding a gun.
Gerta, her mother was frightened for their lives and shot him three times in self-defence. He died, she was arrested and then released uncharged.
Keep in mind that this is in South Africa (still part of England), and if it is the same as England there are no guns allowed there. So it was an even more serious choice for her to use it.
That is a difficult desicion to make. Obviously her mother felt very frightened for herself and daughter and determined to do something about it, or she would not have made that choice.
And just as obviously, the police decided she had good reason to use it, or they would not have released her uncharged.
It takes a strength to make a desicion like that. And it is one with great responsibility.
And yet it is a valid, okay option when in a life or death situation.
One of the things this site addresses is self defence. That is part of the warrior woman model.
To fight back when need be, not be a passive victim.
Regarding her mother and her self. It is said that they have a good, close relationship. And I can see why.
Any child would respect and love a parent who did what it took to keep them safe.
