Get the hell out

My mother is a survivor of domestic abuse. She got rid of his ass about 20 years ago (husband #2...the biggest mistake of her life). I am a believer in if a cycle is not broken it will continue to the next generation. I vowed that no man would EVAH take his hand to me...

I always told anyone I dated "if ya decide to hit me, ya better kill me on the first blow...if not, G-d help ya!"

No man has ever been dumb enough to even THINK about it

So I say, if he hits you once, that is a hint and a half to get your ass out...especially if you have kids. It is your responsiblity to get out...

Do you want your son to grow up thinking it is okay to take his hand to a woman? Do you want your daughter to think it is okay to get hit?

Bottom line:
REAL MEN DO NOT TAKE THEIR HANDS TO WOMEN OR CHILDREN!!!!!

Agreed 100%

My mother left my "father" the first time he laid a hand to her...this was with a 3 year old and a 1 year old.
