Quote From: lemondropApparently, you have things backwards don't you?
And lets say, you were right......which you ARE NOT.
How does any behavior from the woman or the children justify, warrant or excuse the husband's out and out ABUSE?
THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE.
As I said earlier, you have things backwards.
Noticing your core beliefs toward women, gives a lot of information about YOU.
I feel that they all feed on each other. For one, his anger is a problem and needs to be delt with. Apparently, he needs help. He needs to learn how to communicate. The wife and daughter do not help the situation because they just egg him on! Let's go spend all of this money so he can work non stop to pay the bills and then blame him for my shopping problem because he isn't home. I would be angry too if someone was taking advantage of me. The son, well I sort of feel bad for him. Sort of. He has had it good. Did he expect that daddy would just take care of him all of his life? Did all of the children feel this way? This is a man who has worked very hard for what he has only to have a mooching wife and kids. Did his kids not learn any valuable lessons from dad?
I believe that their family is repairable but only if each and everyone of them takes resposibity for their behavior.
They all talk to each other with such disrespect, to blame just dad is unfair, especially when he can't help what he is doing. Some people just can't get a grasp on their emotions and that does not automatically make them a bad person. He is seeking help as I think they all should.
