There is always a sticking point of why not to go even in the most severe situations that really the person ought to be running away. You make your own decision, that is what you are suppose to do but so many of stayed because of the child. I did for awhile and she actually used the child against me to manipulate me like have the child call me when we were in a fight and stuff like that. I knew what she was doing. But everyone has different goals and reasons for the comman problem that we are having.
