Quote From: princess1Ladies, I was in your shoes 15 years ago. My husband was both physically and emothionaly abusive. When I did get a moment of bravery he would tear me down by telling me how fat and ugly I was; and how no man would ever want me because no other man would want a woman with a small child. (my son was 2 at the time) The day I left there was not a spot on my body that was not black and blue. As he was shouting his usual insults at me about how nobody but him would ever put up with me, something inside me snapped. I realized I would rather spend the rest of my life alone than 1 more second with him. I did have second thoughts a few weeks later when I realized my little boy and I were truly alone, and then my son chimbed up on my lap and started touching my face, telling me all the places were "daddy put boo boos on your face, mommy". I never looked back, and 3 years ago I again prooved my ex wrong when I married a wonderful man who takes great care of both me and my son. Please ladies get out now before you have to be carried out by the medical examiner.
Things are not necesarily getting worse, but rather these situations are comming to light. It has always been not too good in the past. But, more and more kids are being left to raise themselves as the mothers insist on working instead of caring for the kids for a few years. I told my wife 40 years ago that this new rage of belitteling motherhood and pushing the glory of working would lead to child problems of all kinds. You women libbers are responsible for the abandoment of these neglected children. Especially boys who are not taught that real strength is related to the ability to care for all people of all genders, ages, and sizes. Yes this includes your relatives.
I recall to this day the children who would call me at work wanting their mother who was late for hours getting home. This occured more than once.
P.S. You have to be WITH your children and not AT your children.
