Is a women devalued after having two children?

My friend has two young children with the same man. Today she told me she is scared to leave (an abusive relationship) as she feels she is now devalued because of her children. What are your thoughts on this? I still think she should leave either way because being alone would be better then the abuse she is going through.

Not in my book. Yet no women would have me anyway. Heck even my own mother said that despite being drunk at the time.

Note she did let me take care of her for years before she passed away. I was the only one of four that would.
