[quote=Anonymous]Well, I don’t think I supported my dad’s verbal abuse, but I did lose a ton of respect for my mom who stayed. She also would not address the actual issues and instead would lose her mind over the jelly jar not being put back on. It wasn’t a good look. She also dragged us into it with “I’m going to leave him this time” nonsense and she never left.

I’m sorry this is happening to you, but there are many reasons kids go along with this stuff. The reality is your kids are going to judge you hard. Now in my 50s, I can see that perhaps my mom was making a lot of trade offs to stay that maybe benefited me. I will never know since I cannot do a controlled study where I live two lives where she left and stayed to see which was better for me. She certainly exhibited a ton of inappropriate behavior herself in the chaos of the terrible dynamic they had. It was a mess that I hope to never replicate for my kids.

My mom is dead and I don’t have tons of fond memories when I think back even though she did many of the “right” things too.[/quote]
