This guy clearly isn't either, even if it's only to be a dad to those dependent children.
Having him shovel out that kind of verbal abuse in front of them is completely unacceptable. He is showing them how a man treats his wife. And when you expose yourself to it, you are as well.
Ah, so true, so true. And that is not ok. Not ok for a man to act like that, and not ok for any of us Mom's to allow it to happen.
Separating from my RAH was a terribly sad and difficult decision for me as a woman, but a very
easy decision for me as a Mother. I do not want that kind of influence around my kids. Thanks, coffeedrinker, for saying it so eloquently.
