Sake Of The Kids?
|

Never stay together for the Sake of the
Children,
Part for the Sake of the Children.
Barbara could have taken the abuse until
Her husband killed her. But because her
son was so traumatised by seeing his
mother beaten, she left her husband.
Barbara left her husband for the sake
of her son, and never went back.
Sure it was hard.
Barb didn't have a 'support' network.
She had friends who gave her a few
days sufference here and there.
They moved a great deal, but survived.
For Barbara it wasn't her physical pain
that was 'important', it was the psychological
health of her son.
Women who 'stay' with their abuser for the
sake of the child risk raising damaged children.
Children so traumatised by violence, children
confused by the relationship between men
and women, children who live in fear.
Don't underestimate the fear...
for that shapes their character for the
rest of their lives.
