Greetings @carlir, like your friend there are many cases, they believe that when they make the complaint they are the ones who are destroying the relationship and the family, it is very common that response "he is the father of my children", they do not see that the one they once fell in love with became a monster or he was and only had it hidden. And it is unfortunate but many times the threats continue after the separation, but I am glad to know that he is rebuilding his life and is happy now.
