Before I get flamed,let me say I do not condone what this father did.On the other hand let us understand he was upset that the mother let his son break the law by driving without a license.I do not fault the boy for defending his mother.Alot of family violence in America today is caused because parents many times use their kids to get back at their spouse for some other reason.I bet if the truth was known in this case,the kid was the reason for the separation.Mom sided with teen constantly,dad would try to discipline and get chastised for it,they seperate,she files for divorce and the guy will probably lose everything.This is probably the only woman he ever loved,even though it was okay for him to sleep around and stay out on occasion in his mind since all he ever gets at home is hot tounge and cold sholder.Life in America,you just gotta love it.

That is reason to choke someone? I am very glad I am not married to you. :~)

Yell, yes. Choke, no.

Eastforker, either you didn't read the whole article, are just plain nuts, or are a domestic abuser yourself who's full of excuses and rationalizations. This guy had a long history of mental illness, substance abuse, and domestic violence. The attempted choking of his wife over the teen driving without a license was just the latest installment. He was a five-star violent scumbag. Why are you inventing fictional excuses for him? The only woman he ever loved? Mother always sided with the son and wouldn't let dad discipline him? Dad was sleeping around because the only thing he ever got at home is "a hot tongue and a cold shoulder"? You realize, don't you, that you made up every bit of this stuff out of thin air, and that there is no basis for any of it in the article? I really think you need professional help.

Yep, it's always the woman's fault. How dare she disagree over child discipline with a substance abusing nutcase. What a rotten, selfish female to remove a substance abusing nutcase from the family home.

It is always appropriate to bust in during the night with a knife and a baseball bat to prove your point in a little domestic disagreement.

jeez, some people can rationalize anything.
