Quote From: jennifer_zI have seen abusers jump in front of vehicles to try and prevent the woman from leaving him. In this case, she stopped and he pulled her out of the car and beat the crap out of her. I have no problem imagining her being totally freaked out by his behavior and her brain just shutting down.  
 
I really don't like the son's mom. Her reaction and behavior validates her version of him being abusive...of the two families, his looks much more "piss poor" than hers.  
I totally agree with what your saying her parents definately handled the situation much better and I believe they know she did it but not on purpose his family acted rediculous sure there is alot of pain but like you said his mothers behavior would make sense with what brandi said about daniel being abusive
