Bullying/abuse in family still be the endless irony circumstance. Though now a days there has been so many NGO which support the victim, in this case mothers, housewives. However abusive in family is different from abusive that happen to women in other field.
Family is more complicated. Specially when dealing with children, would be more dilemmatic.
Say, the husband do abuse to wife. Then the wife reports this to police, or to Human Right Institutions. But then, what will be happen…? The husband put in jail for only about 2 months? They divorce? OK, but then what would be another impact?
Children would be have problem in society, people would say “your father at the jail!”, then, if mother don’t have job, who would be feed them? and the view from the environment itself, when people see something not perfect from the mother, people would judge quickly “Oh! It’s proper her marriage broken, just look at her, she “like this, and this, and this”. But then, how about with the husband??? Nothing happen serious to him, she just pick another woman easily, do the 2nd marriage and said that”I have problem with my wife. But it was pass. We divorce now”
Just like a weapon with 2 sharps point. Keep in silence, her suffer won’t be ending. But try to talk also not guaranty that she and specially her children will have brighter life.
Painful. But this is the fact. The fact which perhaps not happen to rich housewives, to working mothers, but experienced by much of poor housewives/mothers
