However, in the case of Natalie’s the story of child abuse, the major lesson is that women, if they are either divorced or widowed, they should never commit themselves to re-marry a man who has not committed to love their children as he loves them.
They should only re-marry a man once he commits himself to loving them as well as their children borne from another man.
But if they are already in a marriage where a stepfather is abusing their children, then they should quickly tell off their husbands that they would not tolerate such behavior.

I agree. Not all stepfathers are bad, but when you hear of such horrible stories as depicted in this book it just makes you wonder whether or not the woman was selfish when picking their next life partner.

I totally agree with what you said Mr. Justin. It is important that whoever loves you also loves the people you love, esp your children. The only problem is that sometimes people can pretend to love your children just so that you can like them. Another very important thing for women is the last point you made, about building their strength of character so that they do not tolerate such bad behaviours towards their children from any man. A mother should be prepared to leave any man who is intolerant or abusive towards her children. She cannot place her feelings of insecurity or neediness for a man's love ahead of her children's safety.Mr Justin wrote: ↑08 May 2018, 11:08 The valuable lesson from the book Ironbark Hill by Jennie Linnane is that life is a school.
