[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right. People don’t seems to process that ending the marriage does not end the abuse, and often makes it worse; you trade that for being away from him 50% of the time, less parenting help, less economic security, less time to spend with your kids because you are now breadwinner for your household, and future stepmother and step or half siblings, and less future inheritance for your child.[/quote]

People who think staying with an abusive spouse under the delusion of 'protecting' the kids don't seem to realize that their kids will continue to witness abuse and will likely be targets themselves.  These people don't seem to realize how damaging it is to grow up not being able to trust parents and without a consistently safe home.

I grew up with DV.  I used to think my mother was as much a victim of my father as my siblings and I were.  Once I had kids of my own, I realized just how much she failed us and how we were shaped by those experiences.  What a difference it would have made to have had a place where we weren't witnesses to and victims of DV.
