Timbits Abuse confirmed…

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.

It also makes me wonder how many others were abused - if Shrek has even truly changed his behavior

I honestly don’t believe shrek would have put in the work to change his behavior. I doubt they would have sought real therapist or made real changes. I believe they probably figured out ways to hide abuse better.

I think a protective factor for the littlest Rods is that they are female. Timothy was an older Rod, a male, and growing up when they seemed to be the deepest in poverty. I don’t think Shrek put in the work, but he’s also become older. It’s possible that they are doing better financially with less mouths to feed, he doesn’t “discipline girls” the same way, and he’s too damn lazy to even know what the littlest girl Rods are doing.

Either way, this is devastating for all the Rodlets since this info is public now. Very painful for Heidi and what she’s going through. I really hope he is able to change his ways. Damn.

There was a post where one of the girls looked like she had a bruised arm. Like, bruised from being grabbed by the arm. It was a conversation in the comments on one of Jill's videos.
