Jazsmin 'I Ain't Havin' It' Author:Diane Johnson Jazsmin Walters could never be considered your ordinary little girl, teenager or, now having grown up, your ordinary woman.

As a little girl, she would sit, watch, and listen to the stuff her father would do and say, not only to her mother, but to her sister and to her. Many times, after witnessing an argument, or having seen him come home reeking of alcohol, she would wait until she thought it was just the right moment, and then, without warning, she would swoop down like a bird, with question after question for her mother, attempting to find out why she let him get away with treating them the way he did. Time after time, there she would be, standing in the kitchen door, asking her never-ending questions. Becoming a teenager, and beginning to date, would prove to be chaotic, and would ultimately carry on into her years of dating as a young woman in college. Having gone through everything she'd gone through with respect to her father's treatment of women, she would continually compare the boys she'd go out with to her father. Year after year, she would continue to do that, and year after year, each of her relationships would ultimately end up in disaster. As an adult, she stood fast to her belief that no man would ever disrespect her, and as such, it would be a few years before she would meet someone who wouldn't take no for an answer.« less
