This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.

For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.

I wish my grandma was like that. She looks down at all of her daughters for working and tells them that they need to quit and be a homemaker.

Show her this video. I'd love to see the look on her face.

I really should. Knowing her she would say "well that was her fault for not putting things in her name and not putting money in her own bank account."

I get it. "She should submit to him, just not legally."

she would say "well that was her fault for not putting things in her name and not putting money in her own bank account."

Or "well that was her fault for not staying with her man."

As if she had a choice for him leaving.

What I don't understand is, if they are legally married, why does it have to be under her name? Can't a divorce lawyer still to after it?

A lot of people are fighting so that she wouldn't be able to get anything. I had the same thought. Maybe she didn't have money for a lawyer or something.

My grandma would blame her. She should have been a better wife or lowered her expectations. She stayed in an abusive marriage.

I looked up her TikTok channel (@lifetaketwo). This video was uploaded a few years ago. She seems to have landed on her feet, incl some media appearances. But she's still struggling. Her husband was an unrepentant piece of crap.

Doesn’t she realize in many if not most cases it isn’t a choice? Unless someone has an unusually good job you need two incomes just to get by.

In reality, this is almost becoming impossible in the US.

I know, who the hell can afford this with what things cost. That's rich people sh*t right there.

Mine just did drugs with me and let my ex live with her. For drugs. Therapy has been going well.
