My sister in law is in a bad relationship with the father of her second child. The whole family is alway fighting over something, never is there a kind word about anything.
Why would you stay in the relationship.

I owuldn't personally, it is better to bring a child up in a single parent atmosphere that is happy and well adjusted then it is to bring the child up in a controlling, dominating argumentive two parent atmoshpere. There may be many reasons she would stay, This man may have control over here, she may feel finacially secure and that she wouldn't survive raising her child al;one. the best way you can help here is by talking to her about OPTIONS and CHOICES, there are always choices in life she shouldn't feel like she is stuck or alone.

All relationships wax and wane. As long as the father is good to the child and there's not physical or mental abuse I'd stay. Fights happen. Running away teaches your child to run away from problems. Staying, communicating and compromising shows your child how to resolve issues. My husband and I have our disagreeements but we also show that these disagreements can be set aside and we still love each other.
You might not be getting the whole picture. If you are correct, counseling would be in order. But as I said before, as long as the father is good to the child and there's not physical or mental abuse I'd stay.

I don't know, everyone always says its for the sake of the child but its not, I am sure the child loves to see them fight and argue all the time.

she shouldn't stay in the relationship. so many women say they stay for the kids, but why? an unhealthy relationship with fighting is no way to raise a child. i would take my child and get away from him.

If there is no love or any hope of having a decent life, then the relationship must end.
Why embark on something that is doom, why suffer yourself, the child and the whole family.
Good Luck

I wouldn't, but then I'm not her. She may be convinced she's the problem or just be afraid to leave. He may have threatened to cut her off without a dime and take the kids or even kill her and the kids.
All you can do is be supportive and suggest some resources like a local shelter for her to go to get help.

I would stay with my man no matter what ....child or no child...
as long as my man is faithful and I am faithful too...thats all we need to go by....
but I suppose some ppl do stay in bad relationships...they fear to get out...I think they use the child as an EXCUSE to stay but it is really deeper issues...like their own fears..

No way! That would put those children through more emotional distress and harm them way more than just going their own ways. My best advice to give is to tell them to really think of how horrible it is for the children to watch them fight 24/7. Good luck
