Yes, show her that she can improve what she can control.Try dressing it up in stages? "You should work on your autism first" or whatever. Basically, try to get the person to get help with real problems as much as you can, and don't help her drink the koolaid.
It wouldn't surprise me if they pushed their resentment towards men onto their son. Though anacdotally, the only Lesbian couple I knew tried to give their son the happiest life possible, as their own childhood wasn't so great (one grew up in an ultra homophobic country).To be fair, lesbians are twice as likely to experience domestic abuse as heterosexual women and, iirc, four times as likely as gay men, so it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that they abuse their kids at an elevated rate, too
I think the survey was based on their current relationship. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual rate is higher, as some politcally minded same-sex attracted women might not want to "increase stigma".I don't know if the abusers in those relationships are women though. I think sometimes it's from a previous straight relationship with a man before they came out.
