That's why you choose someone whose not a) selfish b)selfish My mom never left my dad though he was a liar/player. One of her reasons was she didn't want to remarry and risk a boyfriend abusing her kids. |
In the broadest sense, yes, it is her fault. She invited this person into their lives. Most men don’t molest, yet somehow she blew past the normal men and chose someone who hurts her child. She’s probably either deeply damaged herself, or desperate for male companionship, for any number of reasons. Or both. |
My mom, too. Unfortunately, she never dealt with her childhood abuse. While my dad was off carousing, she was drinking and abusing me. I escaped by going out and I was abused by a psycho boyfriend. When I tried to get help from her, she blamed me. Meanwhile, my dad came and went as he pleased and just generally ignored me. |
It is the mother's responsibility to protect her children. 100% The person who actually physically abuses or molests the child is ar fault, though. If I had my way, child molesters and rapists would be receiving capital punishment. Mothers and other enablers/ignorers/facilitators of that abuse would spend 30 years in prison. Unfortunately, our society does not value children or women, so child abuse largely goes unreported and unprosecuted. There is no justice for many of us who suffered abuse as children. The worst part of it all is knowing one's mother stood by and did nothing to protect you. |
