“Often, fathers think that staying married to their wife, no matter what, keeps their family together and is best for the children. I believe that one of the best things a father can do for his children is to teach them to love and be loved with respect. Emotional abuse and unhealthy relationships are always unacceptable. Sometimes, seeking a divorce and refusing to be treated badly is the best way to teach our children to love themselves and others.” - Ms. Grove
