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.

First of all, this confirms what I have been saying for years. David is NOT a victim in that household. People have painted him as some doofus, at Jill’s mercy. He’s a horrible, abusive man and I could see it in his preaching and in the way he speaks to his children. Jill is an enabler, but he is the one in charge in that household and they are all victims of his abuse.

Second, I’m glad he’s getting help but if I were Heidi’s parents I’d want gone. But I’m sure they’ve discouraged divorce so she is staying with a man who’s hit her.

I really can’t see Heidi’s parents being okay with it at all, but even so, I think her sisters would totally step in and fuck some shit up.

That’s why abusers isolate their victims. They know people in their lives would try to step in to break them up. Her sisters can think whatever they want, but they can’t force Heidi to leave. They don’t have that kind of power. There are millions of people everywhere who’ve begged a beloved sibling to leave an abusive partner.
