    So I was once arguing with someone about single-parent households.

    They brought up that having both parents in the home is the best option for the child. I argued that if one of the parents is abusive, it’s in the best interest of the child to have a single-parent household instead.

    They then demanded studies/sources to back up my claim, and berated me when I answered “Are you demanding that I provide scientific proof that not having an abuser in the home is best for the child?”

    I just… ugh…

      Even where the child isn’t the target of the abuse, the constant abuse to each other is quite detrimental to a child.

      Just need to have the ACE list and there we go. So dumb…

      I sometimes fear arguing in those situations may actually make me stupider, from the blunt force trauma.
