    Yes it's possible. There are so many factors involved that there is no one right answer. Depends on how well the boyfriend concealed it and whether the children gave no outward display of abuse or if they did whether the mother was smart enough to know what to look for or just didn't see it as the result of abuse. Too many factors to say no and lay all the blame at her doorstep.

    Denial is the biggest reason. They can't believe it, so they don't.
