when a couple is in a hopeless situation where there is continual rejection, hatred, and/or physical and emotional abuse by one or both partners, should they stay together for the sake of their children or should they cut their losses?
share your thought.

This is a tough question fredgame because each and every one of us are different and although I would probably cut my losses and get the hell out if the situation went from *happy go lucky marriage* to an *abusive one*, it is not always easy as it seems. Some find it very hard to get out of that type of situation, and even though some of us may not be able to understand why they can't just up and leave, you need to be in their shoes to really understand what they are going through.
Some are able to go into counseling to keep their marriages going, some aren't and are willing just to let their marriage go and get on with their lives. Sometimes all they need is that little bit extra help, someone they can turn to, to help them get through it or get out of it.

i think all your thoughts are on the right side. i really see it heartening to have children with someone and break away. that makes the family a failure sometimes because the children will tend to be something. the other may try his/her best but two is better than one. you know.

Yup I hear you. Sometimes even when a family tries their hardest to make things work, if it doesn't then maybe the next best thing is divorce.
