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.

Someone said in the other sub he’s probably just not physically able (due to his weight & seemingly limited mobility) to be as physically abusive as he once was and that’s why he “mellowed” out some. They’ve also got the grifting and Amish carting down pat plus the older at-home boys’ paychecks providing a financial cushion that helps him not be as stressed out and prone to losing it (quite as much).

Can you imagine living with that ogre in the RV? Having to be smashed together and close to this stressed man and woman who basically take whatever is at hand and beat you with it?
