Man there are a lot of broken people in this world. I don't know the official stat but kids are something like 30 more times likely to be abused by a non-biological male living in the home - i. e. A boyfriend.
One thing I am greatfull for is my ex W and I have no children together!
There are a lot more than you think, I do believe.
I have no doubt on the statistics. My ex and her sister were abused by the many different "boyfriends" of their mom. The mom takes the meaning crazy to a whole new level, and I'm afraid the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as she is starting to exhibit some of the traits...
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
