My family was great - but we knew others where the father was physically abusive to his wife and kids but she couldn't leave due to financial reasons and turned to alcohol.
A very common story.


Since women were basically chattel during that time, it was very easy for the husband to meet the cops at the door, send them away by telling them that it was just a 'marital issue'...wink, wink.
