Coming from me? Well, I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but maybe you are just as abusive as this guy, and are trying to justify the shitty way you raised your kids by trying to make the girl seem like a manipulative, conniving bitch.
Like I said, you can tell by the way the mother behaves. If this was a rare situation, she would be trying to stop the half-insane behavior by the father. Instead, she is probably abused herself, and attempting to blunt the conflict by fighting fire with smaller fire.
Let me speak on this a final time. If you were a teenager in the 70s or 80s more than likely you had your ass whooped by your parents with a belt just like what you see in that video. That was the form of punishment then and in some homes still today. But now, like many things its considered abusive and the whole scarred for life nonsense. If he had slapped her face with the belt, or took her clothes off, or punched her, anything along those lines, then yes I would be agree it was abusive. But none of that happpened in that video.
I stated clearly, his language bothered me more than the hits with the belt. But the belt hitting doesn't phase me at all. And many many who grew up during the time I did wouldn't be phased either. Its a whipping that is meant to inflict pain for correction. No form of corporal punishment is going to be pretty, its not meant to be.
In 2004 this woman had many options if she was suffering regular beatings or verbal abuse. But in all honesty I question that. I read some the news on CNN last night, the man claims his daughter is mad because he asked for a car back. I am inclined to believe that in the end the daughter used this for a financial gain. While the father clearly has some issues, the kid ain't all that innocent. I believe in the end, he had anger issues, but it was never a problem unless he didn't give them they wanted. Now that is my speculation.
All this other stupid analogies I read as just par for course here. Most here have the attitude and mindset to throw the baby out with the bath water anyway.
Many of the ones I see whining in here about this parent going ballistic, are same ones who then will call for the kids to burned at the stake in other threads because they have broken the law. We didn't have ADHD and all these other issues back in the 80s, lol. We had bad kids and good kids. But those bad kids I grew up with, many turned out to be good people. Unlike today where many are pumped full of drugs and forever dependant on some psychological care.
I would imagine when the police gets done, more will come out. But back in the day that was the way it was.
