That’s why I suggested taking your child to safety if you yourself cannot leave and then deal yourself with your violent partners, don’t subject your child to it. Other options are going to domestic abuse shelter. They help abuse victims who are afraid to leave otherwise. I do understand people having difficulty leaving abusive partners but watching ones child being mistreated just isn’t a viable option. It wasn’t one time incident. It’s been going on.

I do feel enormous amount of compassion and support towards innocent child who simply has zero options here. If I lived anywhere in the area, I’d take said child in a heart beat or made sure she is in safety. Not only because I am a mandated reporter and a mother. I offer support with compassion. Compassion towards poor child who didn’t choose the kind of man to live with

Everyone feels compassion for abuser or whoever watches abuse happening or even a therapist but what about compassion towards innocent child?
