In relationship to problems that people allow to live with them forever...Is it common sense to keep hold of problems that cause nothing but strife and bad times, or should you be able to dismiss ALL that makes you and your life unhappy simply by saying, 'goodbye'? In having no divorce, some people, such as my Filipino wife, bring abuse into the home, & it often deepens when children arrive, as is in our case. Because there is no divorce, in the Family Code, if I were a Filipino, stuck in the Philippines, I would probably be dead by now, due to my wife's abuse. She knows that I cannot get away from her, or atleast that is the way she thought before I had to make a firm decision. Stay & fight all of the time, or, leave her with her misery, and remove the children from the situation as well. When the children observe abuse between the parents, they tend to model the same behavior later in life. The abuse situation only escalates, and is passed down to the children, when it should be love
