I can't believe the mother is actually defending this scum of a husband.I have an aunt in Phoenix who used to work in social services with abused children, and interviewing the family was part of her job. In her experience, virtually all the mothers support their husbands, who have some indominatable hold over them.
Very sad indeed. I'm close to a friend who went through something similiar to this situation.....she and her little sister had been molested by their father for over twelve years before she finally broke down and told her mother.
Her mother in turn took the father to a shrink and left my friend and her sister with no help at all. In fact, my friends mother had her convinced that her father needed more help than she did and that she was going to have to understand that. Her mother even convinced her to not tell the police everything, but for some strange reason, she never even spoke to the police.
It breaks my heart to see children thrown away like this. My friend is now a wife and a mother....she doesn't speak with either parent and she did get herself some help. She's doing good and she's seem pretty happy about her life.
actually, I can believe that.....we women are believers and many are followers....
how many women and MEN btw, excuse Clintoon, excuse Simpson, excuse Micheal Jackson.....was I the only one stunned to see people partying at Micheal Jackson's place a few weeks ago in support of him?
sadly, this is the human condition...human weakness...in that we can't seem to see the forest for the trees......
