**Would you want your child, son or daughter, learning that it is okay to let people abuse you? Because that is the example you set when you tolerate abuse “for the sake of the family.” **They lose respect for you and become tolerant of abusive behavior toward themselves. There’s also a suggestion that witnessing abuse leads children to develop narcissistic tendencies (their empathy for the victim ends up getting wasted because the victim is so accepting of the abuse and they learn to switch off their empathy for others, leading to all sorts of personality and mental health issues).

Totally agree..

I think it’s a lot more damaging to stay with an abusive partner than leave..
