My mother left my father when he was deep in alcoholism and we were living, scared, in a boat on the Grand Union Canal. Every night was terrifying. She took me to a cafe early one morning. Instead of taking me to school she asked me, 'what would you think if we left this place and never came back?' I told her 'yes, please'. We finished our breakfasts and left town. I was 7. My mother listened to this song that entire period and I will forever associate it with her and the strength it took to do what she did. "It's Emmylou Harris!" And she'd point to another woman who gave her strength and inspiration. She died when I was 16. I love her.

I'm very saddened about your parents' relationship. Your Mother made the right decision. She thought it through. As a mother myself, I'm SURE it was a VERY DIFFICULT and HEARTWRENCHING decision. And, it takes tremendous COURAGE. I know this, because that was MY reality. NEVER stay "for the children's sake". This teaches them that a VERY WARPED union of two is "how marriage should be". Every argument, every hatefilled statement made by either parent (or parents) rips another wound into their child's soul; causes fear; and gives the WRONG impression of what a "marriage" SHOULD BE. Too few are in ADULT, EQUAL, Loving, Mature, Respectful! relationships. Too many stay together "for the children". (In my Opinion, which is based on MY experience as a child ). Peace, to all who are in an UNBALANCED "relationship". I HIGHLY recommend leaving it. (I did. It's one of the best decisions I've EVER made.)

Yeah, women's rights, my ass. Behind every feminist is an unapologic race traitor. They're not anti-male, they're anti-WHITE male.
