So I was once arguing with someone about single-parent households.
They brought up that having both parents in the home is the best option for the child. I argued that if one of the parents is abusive, it’s in the best interest of the child to have a single-parent household instead.
They then demanded studies/sources to back up my claim, and berated me when I answered “Are you demanding that I provide scientific proof that not having an abuser in the home is best for the child?”
I just… ugh…

Just need to have the ACE list and there we go. So dumb…
I sometimes fear arguing in those situations may actually make me stupider, from the blunt force trauma.

Even where the child isn’t the target of the abuse, the constant abuse to each other is quite detrimental to a child.

Welp, apparently we need a study to back that up, because people can’t use their goddamn brains.
