I know a single mom who is thirty and has three kids. Sounds a lot like his example so far.

It so happens that she is divorced from a man who she was married to for seven years. He was a traditional christian so forbade her to work outside the home and she submitted.

Turns out he is an alcoholic and a controlling SOB. Her family silently hoped that she would get away from him but kept still for the most part.

Finally after listening to his lies about quitting drinking and enduring his womanizing and belittling of her she got the courage to divorce him.

So now here she is raising three lovely children and financially very vulnerable. She did manage to get a good job though and is now dating a man who treats her with respect.

Oh yes, and one more thing.....

Her children are my grandchildren.
