"Leaving her husband became the only option for "Stacy" after he became violent with the children.
She returned to her hometown, Las Cruces, NM, with her 5 little boys in tow."
The family stayed for a while at the domestic violence shelter."

then further down in the story, after she and 5 little boys got the 13 foot camper,

"Stacy and her boys would not get out of their 13’ camper for a brutal 6 months......
In that time, because of the trauma she’s experienced that tends to make women vulnerable for bad relationships,
she became pregnant.
This loving mother didn’t consider another mouth to feed as a problem."

My post to which you replied said nothing about blaming the victim.
When you have been around DU longer, you will find that I tend to post facts,
and if I post my opinion I am clear about that.
