"For the sake of the chyldrun!"

I've been reading the archives of Childfree Abby, an advice columnist. She's hilarious beyond belief, and a very wise lady, indeed.

She has received a lot of letters from people in shitty relationships who don't want to divorce "because of the kids".

I take issue with this. Why, in [insert diety here]'s name would anyone want to stay in an abusive or otherwise miserable, unhealthy relationship for the sake of their fuck trophies?

Nobody should have to suffer a horrid relationship simply because of their brat(s). Children are not that important. And besides, do they really think it's good for the loaves? What kind of model do they think they will be for Bratleigh and Snotford if they stay in a loveless, probably abusive marriage?

Yeah, that's a great thing to teach the kyds.
