I fear to judge anyone else but having been there ...... there is no way that I could not protect my kids or get them help end of story. No excuse or justification or fear can or should hold a parent from saving thier child. I don't understand ....... it's hard not to judge something like this really really hard.

If you are bad enough abused, you might believe that the child is better off... at peace. Its a scary thought and a place no one should ever be- but the person part of her might already be dead.

I'm sorry if what I am about to say offends anyone.... if youre easily offended then skip my post.

WTF!? I was in a very abusive relationship for 4 years. If that POS had touched my kids ONCE I would have killed him, not exaggerating, I would have stabbed him in the neck with a butcher knife, end of story. Do what you will to me, but touch my kids and I will make sure you choke to death on your own bile.

When I read this story, I picture my own 4year old boy. He is always brimming with joy, such a character. He is always teasing and joking. Loves to tell me and DH he loves us. He's very tiny for his age, but has a huge personality. When I read this, I imagine him with bruises and swelling on his face, the cries if someone was kicking him in the side in a corner, and what I would feel and do if someone was doing this to my child.

I had a lot of self worth issues when I was with my ex. He had me convinced that I was crazy and worthless and that if I left him I would never be more than "a welfare whore".... well, guess what?! I work for Social Services now, I DISH OUT the welfare! This mother, no matter how worhtless she felt, should be put thru what she allowed her baby to go thru. She was the one person in his whole world he should have been able to trust for love and protection and she failed him miserably. Can you imagine the thoughts in this innocent baby's ind as he was being killed? "I'm such a bad boy." "Mommy must not love me if she lets him do this to me" "I'm not worth being loved because I peed my pants".

I just rest in the knowledge that these people will get whats coming to them, either in prison, or on Judgement Day. And Imake sure to kiss my babies and tell them I love them every chance I get.

yeah, the reasoning for this is just unbelievable..my 4 year old girl wet the bed every night..we just bought some pullups! i dont see how someone could just fly into a rage over something that small. if i ever got divorced, i wouldnt even think of dating until my kids were grown, just to be sure.

I couldnt imagine! That is your child!
If he was wailing on my kid about to kill them you could bet I would be jumping on his back with a knife or hit him over the head with a cast iron pan! Id be ready to take my childs place on the death bed. I would fight till I had nothing left in me.


Some mothers I guess just arent born with the instinct..

All I am going to say is this....

Just because you can breed, doesn't mean you should. Not every woman makes a good mother and not every man should be a father. I know this because I was a child of a woman who did not know about the "mothering instinct". Its a sad way to grow up!

Well, I've been in a verbally abusive relationship before. Stayed with him for month after month, after month.

That being said, I am not a mother. I do, however have a nephew that I love more than anything in this world. I can tell you that if I were in that situation with him, son or not, I would get as far away from that situation as I could. I cannot imagine what I would have done to that man if it were a physically abusive relationship and that boy were my son.



Maybe I'm saying this now in hindsigt, but the point is, I understand how some women have such a horribly low self esteem to stay with their abusers. I get that. But I would think that the innate, inborn NEED to protect your child would be just enough to get out of the situation. IMHO, if you do not have that need, then you should not have procreated in the first place.

I disagree. I was badly enough abused to feel that it would be better if I were dead, but I never did away with myself because the fear of what would happen to my children without me stopped me. I cant imagine thinking my kids would be better off dead...
