This wife-beating control freak on 20/20 is seriously pissing me off

[derby378]

Is anyone watching this? I don't normally watch the show anymore, but his kids actually videotaped him shouting at his wife, calling her a "stupid ass heifer," slapping her, even choking her. And this went on for years before she finally left him and sent cops after him.

That asshole better never cross my path. He doesn't know what pain is.

1. Did they use his full name and say which town he lives in?

2. I dunno...

I joined the program a little late. I'm watching CNN now, where they're talking about the Republican culture of corruption and the upcoming "Broken Government" special.

I feel better. Still pissed off, but maybe not so much.

8. We saw this too, and.....

Wife and I watched this and both concluded that there needs to be more EDUCATION aimed at both boys and girls beginning in junior high (hopefully) before they begin dating as to what is acceptable behavior and respect both on the giving AND receiving end. Young men need to be drilled and instructed that this is in NO way acceptable, and young women need to know that they have the power and control over their own lives and bodies to make decisions from moment one and beyond. It astounds me that these situations can still take place. Unbelievable.

4. Most of the time.

I am a victim of my wife attacking me constantly. I'd say on about 5 to 10 occasions over a decade, it has triggered some fight or flight instinct and I fight back. Usually when she hits me in the face when I am not expecting it. Then my wife uses this to tell everyone a distorted version where she leaves out the part about attacking me and gets everyone against me.

6. Convince her to get marriage counseling with you.

Otherwise, it seems unlikely to me that your marriage will last.

9. Leave the wife.

Now.

7. Thank you...

I hope he has to pay the medical bills to repair her ruptured eardrum, too. Sell the house, coward - you won't be needing it anymore, will you?
