Abusive relationships

I would tell her that if she doesn't care enough about herself to stay away from an abuser, then she should at least care enough about her own children to keep them away from a situation like that. I would also tell her, that if protective services gets notified that the children are livnig in an abusive home, they have the right to come in and take the children away and place them in foster care. She needs to think about the children's well being and be strong enough for them to stay far away from that guy!
