I blame the ‘mom’ who chose that jerk and stayed with him. Is it possible to be THAT desperate for a partner, to where you would subject your own child to violence and abuse???
It’s hard for people with no experience of domestic violence to understand why a woman doesn’t just leave.
Once a man starts abusing a woman, he usually accompanies it by threats to kill her, kill her children, kill her parents or her pets if she tries to leave, or if she doesn’t keep on letting him come back. She becomes captive mentally — like “Stockholm Syndrome” — and starts believing the abuse is her fault, because he tells her that repeatedly when beating her.
