the COWARD & the BULLY?

Well...

I love my husband. But I would never sit back and watch him abuse our children for the sake of companionship, money and sex. Neither of us fall into the category of "abusive". We never really discipline without input from the other and that was something we decided long ago. When they get grounded, we are both telling them, together after we have discussed it. It's not something we like, but we know consistency is key. And they aren't bad kids.

My parents were pretty good. Could things have been different? Of course from our perspective. But they did what they thought was best and I can't fault them for it. We were never abused and my mother was probably more the disciplinarian, but they decided to handle situations that way. She probably let us get away with more than she should have.

Of course as a parent, my husband and I have tried to compensate for things we feel could be better. But the reality is, its all a crap shoot and I think you realize that when you have kids of your own. That isn't to say that parents should let their kids fall victim to actual abuse and I am very sorry you went though that.

everybody behaves as he has is mentally risky. he's not a coward, yet could be a bully or replaced into bullied. He wont get the dying penalty and it is definitely not justified. It relatively could have been appropriate for all worried if his suicide attempt had succeeded. This guy is not any clever sleuth. the real unhappiness right it is that the criminal gadget took see you later to know him. the shortcoming of the regulation allowed his crimes to proceed. sure, McVeigh had to die. In his suggestions he replaced right into a countrywide hero, he had to be a martyr. Being cruel to those that are cruel would not strengthen the human undertaking. a number of you may desire to feel embarrassment approximately your solutions. You become a criminal once you knowingly inflict soreness and suffering on yet another human.

So you are in your 70s or 80s now, if you grew up in the 30s and 40s?

My home and parents were perfectly normal. Not abusive.

Your question is rather ironic. Some people are cursing working moms, but if the moms of abusive men worked, they would be able to afford to leave.

My parents beat the crap out of me. She did divorce him though, but that was after her affair. Didn't have much to do with how he treated us. Emotional abuse, physical abuse, it is what it was. Both of them did it and justified it in their own ways. Two of my siblings are following the same patterns. Funny thing is, they both work with kids, as did my mom.
