There's a wrong way to handle it though Pidge. I went out with a girl whose husband used to batter her.( Even fracturing her skull by throwing her against a radiator). This abuse had been going on in front of her kids aswell. One night while I was there, I'd gone for a piss and when I came out of the bathroom, her little boy was standing on the landing and asked me if he could come down and play with his toys. I said ok but only for half an hour, then he had to go back to bed. On the way down the stairs, he said to me "If my mum says no and sends me back to bed, will you beat her up?" I nearly burst into tears. Not just in sadness but in anger that what this twat had put them through. I told the girl that she should take the kids to her mums when he is due to come and visit them and I'd be waiting in her kitchen with a baseball bat.Pigeonho said:
I didn't hear from her for days. Then one of her friends rang me and said she was trying to escape violence and my offer of turning her house into a war zone was not appreciated. Violence is very rarely the answer.
