Hi @ricardo993. I'd like to share some additional information and perspective on this topic.

The issue isn't about promoting abuse (although some readers will read this story and see that as a facet of the story). @kilvnrex was evidently attempting to "tell it like it is," which is a fine thing to do with a personal blog.

However, in The Ink Well, we decided long ago to draw a line in the sand and ask writers not to bring these topics to this community. We were seeing many stories on abuse, rape, and brutal killing on a regular basis. To turn off that faucet and make the stories here safe for everyone, we declared in our rules and all of our prompts that stories must not focus on abuse or violence. We added the following wording in our community rules:

Note that we will mute any posts that are plagiarized, depict rape, abuse or graphic violence, or otherwise break our community rules. These rules are designed to make our content safe for all ages, and those who have suffered abuse and violent trauma.

We also add this phrasing to every single creative nonfiction prompt:

And you will find this reminder directly under the contest rules in every fiction prompt post:

We also wrote an entire article explaining our stance on violence.

And even so, we have people arguing with us that they should be able to publish stories in The Ink Well about men hitting women.

Some of us have personally been abused, or had close friends and relatives who have suffered horrible abuse. We established our rules not to deny anyone their freedom of expression, but because we want to read about other things, and we want to protect vulnerable readers.

There are many places to publish these stories besides in the one community that does not welcome this type of content. We are open to just about any story topic that does not involve people or animals being beaten, raped, brutalized, shot, stabbed, slaughtered, etc.

Hopefully that helps your understanding.
