I'm pretty disappointed about Sweden at this point, to be honest. Or perhaps I've just been naive earlier. Or just poorly informed about things in this society.
What concerns me is that I quite often, with a frequency high enough to not ignore, get emails or am elsewhere informed about wives that stay in the realtionship with a substance abusing husband because they don't recon that they can afford to live on their own. They stay in the marriage with their kids because they can't seem to afford living expenses, food, clotes and so on without their husbands money.
A lot of them say that they want to get divorced and that it isn't good for the kids to live with a father that is an alcoholic, but they still stay for economic reasons.
It doens't seem right that children suffer because the mother can't make ends meet as a single parent.
Is it really that bad? How can it still be like that in Sweden in 2014? And, more interestingly, how could this be solved?
With hopes of change!
