mafketis: How so? She's only talking about what she wants in the first post, no thought at all about the kids (except that she wants them with her). It's quite possible that their problems can be settled through therapy. Not for sure, maybe not even probably, but she owes it to her children to make more of an effort than she indicates has been made in the first post.
I disagree. Obviously nobody knows the real situation- and we only have her words to go on. If her husband is verbally and on occasion physically abusive -what do you think this is doing to the kids. People don't change and no amount of therapy will change this behaviour. People can be taught to control their behaviour but not change it. Being in an abusive relationship of any sorts changes a person- it will definitely change the kids. some relationships just can't be fixed with therapy. He has control issues by her words- how do you think he will react to therapy.
and as for the kids- it is healthier for them to see their mother happy and strong instead of weak and in an abusive relationship.
She needs a lawyer now.
