ππππππππππ Yesterday I wanted to cut an abusive "mother" two hands! I went back home with such a heavy heart imagining what this innocent kid is surviving on a daily basis. Being physically violent is merely a small part of the story! A perpetrator inflicts much more psycholoyical abuse than physical one. We were 3 frustrated ladies talking loudly to the abuser; seeing the baby's reaction and how he was covering his ears broke my heart! It's clear it's his daily life...
P.S. the "father" was present and didn't do a thing to protect his child... at adulthood, the boy will feel resentment toward the father who let him down more than toward the troubled mother!
