OK that's IT. No one else has kids who hit them is a HUGE STEAMING PILE OF MALE BOVINE MANURE! GRRRRRRR!!! I will find you another DV person to talk to. There HAS to be more than one.
Now as for not having kids with Q's specific issues - well, maybe not, but still.
And... Having seen a friend or two go through: abuse from a parent, spouse, child, (and even another friend)... They have all experienced it. They have all needed help from their OWN perspective - not from that of the abuser.
Ugh, I hate society sometimes.
