So I was once arguing with someone about single-parent households.
They brought up that having both parents in the home is the best option for the child. I argued that if one of the parents is abusive, it’s in the best interest of the child to have a single-parent household instead.
They then demanded studies/sources to back up my claim, and berated me when I answered “Are you demanding that I provide scientific proof that not having an abuser in the home is best for the child?”
