Domestic abuse question?
My best friend is in a 4 year relationship with a man that has hit her at least twice that i know of. Recently, they had a child together and i am beside myself with worry for the futures of both my best friend and the child. Are there any personal accounts from any survivors out there about an abusive relationship becoming healthier with the arrival of a child? Perhaps a jealous husband changed once the baby arrived? Maybe the guy was shown so much acceptance and love by the woman that he eventually changed completely? Are these things even likely? Thank You

Thing is she is not married to this guy--and should have bolted at the word go.
Having a child with this guy complicates things and her ability to leave.
She has made her bed and their are in guarantees here--as her friend you too need to be tactful and just observe--since these abusers pay close attention to anyone who may help the victim.
Just be there for her and since she is a grown up--she has to accept the consequences of her actions.
Which ever way the ball drops.
Sad to say.

If you honestly think that an abuser will become any LESS abusive the minute he has not one but two potential victims within reach, you are as stupid as your friend who decided to breed with her abuser.
