If she had killed her spouse one might have some empathy, but how can anyone understand killing the little ones?

I was in a relationship in which my partner( at the time) was abusive but not so much physically but emotionally and verbally.
Once only ONCE did she put her hands on me
the ending of our situation left me on the street as I lost everything
but the anger I had for her ... I wanted to do something violent
but only entertained the thought because I can;t see myself killing anyone
I chose to tell my friends and tell the Law about the $$ stolen and I moved
on Learning that sometimes the other one is not all that smart and sane
It doesn't matter the gender preference; straight couples go through things like this also except the kids are more likely to be kidnapped
That chick what she did was the reason we need to work more on the issues
in our community that are society taboos
