This is a hypothetical question for all: WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU ARE A BATTERED WIFE / HUSBAND??? Would you still go on with the relationship even you are beaten up by your partner? What if you have kids already would you consider living in hell for the sake of your children? As for me no one has right to hurt you no matter what mistakes you've done. Children would difinitely affected if you will end up your relatonship but which one would you prefer? your children growing up without your partner in a peaceful enviroment or they grow up with your partner but they see so often that you are being beaten up by their mother/father? I often heard that one cannot go out in a relationship because of their children but I think its not wise to stay in a relationship which is not safe anymore. How about you, what would you do?? THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Honestly that is one of the case i don't want to occur in my relationship as it will makes me too angry and disrespect my partner. So whenever i enter into a relationship i make known this condition that he should not hit me, even how angry he was, otherwise i will really fight back and bring a case into the court. I beleive a scarce made by your partner physically to you is much deeper emotionally.

I reckon everybody don't want that to happen in their relationship but who can tell anyway. I think if your partner will beat you up from the first time you need to act because if not he/she will do it again and again.. Thanks for always responsing (,")

If I were in such a position, I would definitely end the relationship! I dont see a point of growing my kids in such a unpeaceful environment, making them watch and feel all such experiences ! They have the right to live in a peaceful atmosphere. More to that, I believe that kids growing in such an environment will be more affected than those who stay away . They will be affected emotionally, with no love or care for others and sometimes withdrawing themselves from the society. Why would I want that to happen to my kids??? I would actually walk out of such a relationship thinking of my kids.. I would make them understand the fact when they are old enough to understand matters. Each and every one has a purpose in this world. There are many things that we can give back to the society, by spreading a positive energy. I believe no one should sacrifice their life for such a worse situation and live a life with no purpose ! Positive energy can come only from a healthy family and I would like my kids to be in a healthy family, letting them to grow into wise adults.!

choosing to stay in a relationship which is full of misery and violence is a sureway to perpetual suffering. indeed, having your children's welfare stand before yours is a noble task--something that a only a loving parent could do. but doing so would also mean depriving yourself, at least, the respect that you deserve as a person--as an individual. it's a difficult choice to make. but we are always left with an option. id rather choose to move out of the relationship. as i gain my respect for myself, i can restart a new life. good children are not only raised in good families. they might grow to a better person if they see that one of their parents fought for his/her dignity. aside from focusing on the issues that they might go stray for having a broken family, look at the lighter side of things. they might emulate you as a person of value. at least, at the earliest phase of their life, you teach them how to deal with something wrong. at least, at the earliest possible time, you pull them away from ugly scenes which they could, thinking that it's right (since you tolerated it in the beginning), emulate in the future.
