They sacrifice to live with abusive partners for the sake of the children even if they no longer have the love and affection for their partners.

Employed married women will pitch at work on a Monday with a swollen face  or a bruised neck but prefer to lie so as to protect their husbands. Women always fins a silly story to ay and one of the common statements is “I slipped walking down the corridor.” 

Most of these women even lie to the doctors when they seek medical attention, coming up with a silly story because they cannot imagine a family without a father.

How will I tell the children that their father is in jail because he beat me up?

How will they treat me knowing that I am the reason why he is in jail?

How will we survive because I am unemployed?

What will my in-laws say when they know I am the reason why their son is in jail?
