A battered woman lives in fear and denial. They can be beaten and still deny to themselves that it happened. The same thing with living in denial about him sleeping in that child's bedroom. They want to believe that nothing is really going on because change is the greatest fear. I know it sounds crazy and awful but you have to be in that position. The possible loss of a roof over their heads, moving, having every person in town know what happened...the list goes on and on. I would have never kept quiet about what he did to a child but lie about him abusing me. It gets crazy.

Can't she and the kids go to a shelter?
