Often subjected to domestic violence and want to divorce, relatives advised to think of their children, and finally drank pesticides to commit suicide!

Today, I talked to a director of the Women's Federation. She said that one of the things they often do is to mediate family conflicts. Domestic violence often happens to women in rural areas. She told me a true story.

There was a mother who was fed up with her husband's domestic violence and wanted a divorce, but her relatives advised her to think of her children, including her parents and brothers. The director of the Women's Federation said to me, "this is not afraid of being bad to the children. In fact, it is afraid of leaving. The mother's family will lose face, it is difficult to marry without them, and they are afraid that they will not leave their mother's home."

It is difficult for a man with domestic violence to correct it. People from the Women's Federation went home to mediate and communicate several times, but the husband still scalded with boiling water and hit with sticks as usual. The mother knew that it was no use telling her mother's family. Looking at her 3-year-old child, she finally couldn't stand domestic violence and committed suicide by drinking pesticides.

Living in a violent family every day is only harmful to the children. If it were you, would you divorce?
