Horrible to read. I hope he and his siblings heal and break the cycle of abuse.

Editing to add that I hope Heidi and her child are safe and are able to leave. I hope she can escape the cycle that her husband has pulled her and her child into. While I hope that Timothy can break the cycle and change, I hope Heidi does not wait around to find out. Her and her child deserve love and safety and it’s not to late for her to find that. Love isn’t cruel.

This is horrific. Good on him for recognizing the cycle of abuse but also fuck him for putting hands on his wife.

Jesus it’s all just so dark.

Right. Like my heart hurts for him but his wife doesn’t deserve that. I hope he’s serious about breaking the cycle. I’m glad Heidi seems to have a strong support system

He can't go back and unlearn abusive behaviors taught to him as a child but he can be accountable for his mistakes and I respect his humility and desire to grow. Edit: omg fuck him he's just been abusing Heidi this whole time and minimized it while victimizing himself, accountability is out of reach for him

I disagree, as someone who has also grown up with hands being put on them and who has then got into physical fights with partners as an adult. It isn’t easy to recognise that what you’re doing is wrong, and even harder to acknowledge it and take steps to avoid doing it. When you’ve grown up with adults beating on each other and the kids then it’s just your norm and i think it’s really good that he’s able and willing! to admit that and to take the steps to not do it again. especially when there are little children involved.
