I’m not defending him. I’m just saying that these situations always end badly when ‘Mommy’ brings a new ‘boyfriend’ into the family fold, especially when she has young kids who usually have no bio-dad in their lives. Divorce happens. Accidental pregnancies happen. I totally understand that. But...
...raise your kids FIRST, THEN find romance for yourself. Put the needs of your CHILDREN first.
You can look through my posts; these situations are a common theme with me. Read just about any abduction/murder/rape story involving children on any given day and it’s the same old story.
You are so out to lunch on this issue. The kids watching their dad beat up their mom twice weekly is not about putting romance on hold. We have a domestic violence website here that has a quickie escape key so that women looking at it can quickly exit if they need to. You are so incredibly wrong.
