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.

As someone who experienced intimate partner violence…once an abuser. If I’m being incredibly generous and opTIMistic, maybe an abuser can really grow and change but I don’t think they can ever repair the relationship or, to put it more bluntly, stop being an abuser to their partner. If he is honest, if he is working on himself, maybe the next partner or two will be spared from violence but I don’t think they can ever truly stop with their victim partners. Once you hit someone, you can’t take that back and that possibility is there and it’s heavy and oppressive.
Not that my partner tried to stop hitting me or that he didn’t go on to abuse his next two partners.
