[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to add that my father was physical with me when he was angry and my mother did nothing. I am in my fifties and have still not forgiven her. (Not that she asked.)

I have spent years in therapy trying to understand why my mother did not protect me.

I have very little to do with her now. (Dad is dead).[/quote]

It’s very simple. She didn’t protect you because she was unable to raise you on her own, or didn’t want you to be alone with an abusive dad 50% of the time, and was possibly being abused herself. There are innumerable women who cannot afford to get away from their abusers and therefore cannot protect their children from them adequately either. Some of them even die trying.[/quote]

You literally have no clue what you are talking about. She was a professional with a great salary. She left him as soon as I went to college. She bear even came to my room and asked if I was OK.

I am not an amalgam of all the abuse stories you've read. I am an individual. And sometimes women don't leave b/c they are in denial or in love with their partner and just don't want to see it.[/quote]
