I have seen one mum testify against her daughter and she was so so heartbroken but she also said she had warned her and tried so much to mend her narcissism. I have seen others not testify but obviously shocked and disgusted by their child's actions. Its not always the case that its the parents' fault.

[@mse5739]

This happens so very often, not at all rare unfortunately. Not ending with death always of course but I cannot imagine the amount of domestic violence occurring all around the world - be it mentally, emotionally, verbal, physical - then deadly ! finally😡 Just in my own family almost every men abused their family. With one exception : when my grandma fucked with everyone. But at least she was cooking and took care of stuff:) and however abusive women can be, somehow you are not afraid of being killed by them. (Though emotional abuse is just as killing) And mine is a middle class “normal” educated family with diplomas from medical and engineering fields. Seemingly normal lives, with holidays, sometimes laughter and humor. But true caring towards one another is poisoned because of 1 man’s inadequacy and because of 1 wife’s inability to understand that her main focus should have been on the fu*cking kids and not on the borderline mentally unstable father. One of my grandpas was an aggressor too, one of my grandmas the same. At least one parent tortured my parents as well. What is interesting though that they didnt learn anything , culture, social norms can really reinforce abusive behavior and neglect (which is also abuse). And what is even more interesting is that they I believe were both strongly supported by at least 1 parents of them - so they really succeeded in life. Well.. they didnt think they should really care though what their children would do and how..apart from money they are not able to emotionally be involved. Truly shocking and scarry. When you feel your parents think they are doing the most amazing job while they genuinely give a shit what happens to you. It is not rare at all. In former generations people were everything but open and more than not abusive because of anxiously complying the norms and avoid being shamed by the public. Something is clearly off. And sadly, my mother is - I know - that a very gentle and loving person who is a doctor btw curing many people in her life - still she was capable of desensitize herself to her kids problems. She instead - was always putting her husband and abusive mother first…. to be a good girl. So when u ask for help from a mother like that they do not feel they should act and they feel uncomfortable. There are many creepy men among us because this is the culture.. And many women who are brainwashed and helpless. It is so sad:( Parents also are blind in most cases to see if their kid’s partner is emotionally abused.

Their dad might or might not be willing to take care of the kids but Andy's gonna do it for sure 🤔 and why would Katie text her mom the exact amount of money she got from Andy, instead of just mentioning the fact that he helped her out?!

My sister blamed me for causing her guilt while she is uncomfortable listening to my “complaints”. My father blames me for eveything if I tell about any situation I didnt feel good. I can only say I hate them. I always imagined a family running to help each other in one second without hesitation. They only like good news, they only like when they can complain.

[@Hiram1000]

Well done. You're the only commentator who has mentioned Men AND women. It is regularly, and conveniently forgotten that women can be abusers too. As a father of both boys and girls, I am beginning to notice the effect on the teenage boys that the constant vilification of men has on their self-esteem, relationships with other girls and their outlook. It's now gone to the other extreme, where they are fearful of having any relationships with girls and, even as teenagers, begin to look towards so-called "influences" such as Jordan Peterson, Tate and Ben Shapiro. Extreme feminism, constant attacks on masculinity, and lack of emotional support in the communities is resulting in an increase in teenage boys suicides, emasculated and introverted young lads who's basic raison d'etre is questioned every day. I worry about what kind of mental health minefield the backlash and generalisation against all men will create for our young adults. Anyone with teenage boys will, or should, be aware of the delicate situation they find themselves in..

I’m going to guess that he was probably very loving, caring, and kind. This facade of his must have made Katie, suffering from anxiety and possibly low self-esteem, think him the most wonderful person on earth.
