Dear Editor: This letter is submitted as a rebuttal to the recent comments by state Rep. Don Pridemore, R-Hartland, who has gone on the record as opposing divorce even in the event of an abusive spouse. It is submitted by the UW-Madison School of Social Work, Family Problems in Social Work class under the direction of class instructor Darald Hanusa. The idea advanced by Pridemore is that if you are a woman regularly being abused by your husband, you are a bad mother if you seek a divorce.
