That’s right. Stay married to a drunken abuser. That’s even better for children than divorce.
From the article:
“This essay is not to be construed as a general condemnation of all who are divorced.”
Did you see the disclaimer at the end of the article?
Even the Catholic Church will make an exception for this; at least, it did for my cousin and that was at least 20 years ago. My cousin's husband was a dedicated alcoholic and was not interested in being helped. She went to her parish priest and he told her to divorce him. I remember my father said, "boy, priests have changed since I was young".
She divorced him, and eventually found a nice guy and they have been married for a long time. I don't think there is anyone, anymore, who insists that a woman should stay with a man who is a serial adulterer, or an alcoholic who refuses help, or a drug addict.
Nobody said that.
It really helps to read the whole article:
“Disclaimer: Not everyone who is divorced came to be so in the same way. ..... Still others were physically endangered during the marriage. This essay is not to be construed as a general condemnation of all who are divorced. Rather, it is a heartfelt plea that amidst today’s divorce culture we count the full cost of divorce and that we remember that marriage is first and foremost about what is best for children.”
