Totally agree. In my experience women who
grab the kids and run, unannounced, fear the
potential physical abuse if found before escaping.
No doubt in my mind that he slapped her around. And when they do abuse, the men are careful that there are no witnesses. And being the obedient wife, she took it as long as she could.
Off Topic-
I will only be popping in and out as I'm trimming big oak tree limbs over the barn and
horse shelters preparing for a potential hit
from Hurricane Dorian this weekend-Mon. and Tues. Could become a Cat 4, so it's serious.
