I've talked to many women in this position. It sounds so easy to get out of a horrible marriage. It isn't.
She has no education,no work experience and four children to clothe and feed. On top of that women don't have equal opportunities in the workplace. We get lower pay than men for the work we do. We are likely to be hired for temporary or low level work, make little money and be the first blamed and fired.
And the job market right now is lousy.
She will probably forgive him. The alternative is a lot harder and a lot more bitter than people realize.
If his has a couple of million dollars, then maybe she can put $30-40,000 down and go to college. If she does that, she has a late start on a career, and who is hiring?
Otherwise, what will she do?
Not a pretty situation. But many women are in it.
