Do physically abusive men...

Men that have hit their lovers, wives, babymommas etc... Do they always hit their children too? I've heard abused women say that their partner has physically abused them but were "great fathers." I guess being in the sense that they didn't physically harm their children...

Can somebody shed light on this? Maybe someone who was with a narc/abuser who was a "great father." Loved, cared for and supported the child(ren) but abused the mother? Is that possible for them to be like that? I've heard horror stories that it's very well possible that they a lot times physically hurt their own children. And if each case is different in that area, what maybe a deciding factor?

Just curious.

" Thank you for all your replies. It is very helpful. Honestly I wanted to know because even though my child is not out the oven yet my child's father has been physically abusive to me in the past but he hasn't touch me since we learned of my pregnancy. I wanted to know if there was any hope that he wouldn't harm my child when he gets here.

But your right Calm it does show that they DO have control. I think my bf hasn't hit me(besides the fact that I do anything to get hit for in the first place) because he's still trying to convince me that he isn't abusive so I won't leave the state. "

" If he's abusive at all - to you - that will harm your child when he gets here. Even if only because he will be shown through verbal/emotional abuse that his father thinks his mother is worthless - and she accepts that view.

Don't let him harm your child. Make your child proud of you for your strength and your love. "
