Yes, I agree we are all responsible for our own actions.  HOWEVER, when two people choose to raise children, they should be equally responsible for the rearing of the child.  If the father knew the mother was abusing the children, as it clearly shows he was, then he is just as responsible as the mother is, because he never attempted to stop the abuse.  It doesn't matter if all of the kids are his or all are his and he married into the family unit.  A healthy marraige/household is full of checks and balances, and no matter what he should have been active in difussing the situation.

The parents are emotionally retarded..but the kids are wonderful..how does that work. 

  

I like the fact he (the husband ) is holding her hand but not running to cuddle his children.. he is complicit... 

the first four were by a different father, i got that part. But that doesnt excuse his just standing by while this was happening.

didn't I hear one of the children say that Dad wore steel-toed boots, but when he kicked them, he used the side of them?  How kind of him!!!!!

I think Dr. Phil stated that 4 of the children were from another father and one child was his.  They are both pathetic parents if you ask me.
