04/27 Obsessive Love: The Drama Continues

Quote From: jaimie1974

Were you watching the same show as me? You believe that Jeffrey's actions were not abusive or threatening? Does that mean that you lock your wife in the basement  like Jeffrey; since it isn't abusive in your opinion? Would you get your wife fired from her job and isolate her from friends and family so that you can have her all to yourself?

As for being a bad father....you don't mention that he is a good father, either. A man who spies on his wife in front of their children isn't a good father. A good father doesn't put the children in the middle, but that was what he did. The children don't need to be involved in mom and dad's issues!

I think that Jeff is a very abusive individual, one does not have to be physically abusive to be considered an abuser.  If Jeff does not take the help that Dr. Phil is offering to heart, he may become worse than a mentally abusive person.  I feel that his wife and children are in severe danger if he does not get help, or she doesn't take those children and run.  Children mirror the images that are before them, especially during their developmental stages.  Which only means that their 10 year old son may mirror his fathers behavior when he enters a relationship, or the girls could even mirror his behavior with their future significant others.

If Sirlance knows Jeffrey why does he not know his wife?  Could it be that Jeffrey has not allowed his wife to meet others?  Sirlance, as a domestic violence survivor I promise you, that you do not need to be hit to suffer from the abuse.  Can Jeffrey change?  Without question, if he truly wants to make the changes.  His behavior is by no means normal or sane.  After 11 years of marriage not all days were bad, they both admitted to that.  But the bad out weighs the good.  No one needs to live through the Hell that Jennifer is living through.  You should not encourage anyones behavior such as Jeffrey's.  If you are really his friend you should ask yourself, why don't I know his wife but more importantly you should be begging him to get the help he so desperatly needs.

I couldn't agree more, in what world do people live in that locking a person in a basement or invading their privacy to the point of listening in on theri private conversations is not abuse?  What about denying a person the right to choose whether or not she wants to reproduce?  These are not only abusive, but I'm willing to bet that they are criminal.  Even if she cheated on him, when normal people are cheated on they are hurt and they either work through it with their partners or they move on to healtier relationships.  They don't use it as a license to start acting out their craziest fantasies.  Maybe birds of a feather flock together and this fellow's wife should start checking her car for listening devices.

 

And as for what kind of father he is, I'm afraid that anyone that thinks that a good father abuses the a child's mother doesn't know anything about children.  Children fear the lose of their mother's more than anything on this earth.  This is a deep instinctual fear and men who use their children in this way are the worst kind of abusers. 

 

A marriage that can be saved, this wasn't a marriage, it was a prison sentence.  Give me a break.
