Its actually something Ive been thinking about the last few days more related to situations in my personal life, but your post did remind me of the topic.
don't hate on the weak, it'll only make them weaker. they already suffer enough, granted it's their own fault but there's already enough hatred in the world, no? save your hatred for rapists and murderers, people who actually deserve it. anyway, help the weaker grow stronger. or just leave them alone and they'll kill themselves or get killed anyway.
Im not going to get too into personal reasons for my thinking, but I dont perceive much difference between abuse and letting abuse happen, except something was expected from someone who let things happen. I will give a summary of 1 story to give a better idea of my reasoning.
A single mother gets with an abusive man who hurts her and the children. It was her job to defend her children, but she fails to defend them and allows it to happen.
Some might use fear as an excuse, but personally I do not think fear is an excuse for anything. Fear is a normal reaction, but sometimes life puts us in situations where we must conquer our fears and do whatever must be done, even if that means sacrificing your own well being to protect what should be more important.
In that situation the mother is in a way of lower moral than the abuser, because nothing was ever expected from the abuser, but protection should be expected from the mother.
People like to think they have choices in life, but life isn't about choices and it is each of our responsibility to be prepared for the situations that we come across and weakness is not always an option.
i see you are quite passionate about this topic. as some one lacking empathy and emotions on this matter, i honestly couldn't careless about the children, the mother or the abuser.
nevertheless, i do believe that some people are simply selfish because of survival instincts, which is good for you as a person but not good for you as a mother. i for one do have a little respect for the WOMAN who placed her life over her children's. she will regret it later but i would rather live with regret than not live at all. (admittingly, my response could be the result of my deep hatred for children, which i can't explain btw)
some mothers don't have maternal instincts like this one obviously and i can accept that as i am the same. i know it's not the children's fault but again, yet if i was the mother, i'd favor myself over my children.
i maybe alone in this though, many people agree with your point of view. after all society does prefer bravery over selfishness. your opinion is not unpopular. you are completely normal. i'm a realist and i don't care. i'm more important than my responsibilities. :)
I would recommend you do not have kids. I think most people should not, but it's part of life.
Personally I do not plan to have kids, but I think I would make a great father if I ever accidently did. If I had kids I would have no problem killing anyone who hurt them. I have cats and I take great care of my cats and let them do what they want. I have hit people just for taking the cats seat on the couch.
IIN I look down on submissive behavior.

obviously, i won't have kids. i am definitely not stupid.
I understand what you're saying. But it's a bit harsh, at the same time life is and can be extremely cruel.
I think as humans we can see and understand that and perhaps try to transcend some if it. Maybe.
