I hate this trope of abused parents saving their own ass while leaving the mc kid behind all alone depending on the same abuser, and I hate how they’re portrayed as blameless and only pitiable as if I’m supposed to say I get it 6ou we’re tryna survive or smth, bro if you KNOW your spouse is that abusive that you’d leave everything behind and RUN, wouldn’t anything be better than staying there for the kid too? Like clearly you don’t care to keep your child with you but couldn’t you idk leave him with some other relative too? Or fucking hell even an orphanage? writing-wise I hate how they’re shown only as a victim and not like basically an accomplice in the kid’s abuse . . .
