You're right. Abusive parents that are never home are better left anyplace than home.
If my grandmother had been gone a lot when I was a kid, I'm sure I'd be a more stable person. Problem was, my mother was gone A LOT, trying to date people and going horseback riding and skiing to try to get her life back after my dad died from a brain tumor and I was LEFT with my abusive controlling grandmother.
