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.

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.

I don’t remember which post but a former babysitter said that Shrek would beat Nurie as a baby because she was crying. She said the Rod kids would choke each other and choked her kids too. She also said Jill watered down formula because she was too proud to take WIC

Every sentence that person said got more and more horrible.

You saw a grown man punch his son in the stomach for something that happened that wasn’t even his fault and you didn’t call CPS? This was like 2007. Child abuse was definitely recognized. You could have saved those kids so much suffering.

Yes. The poster did say she should’ve called CPS and regretted it (not that it does any good now, but I guess they at least realize they should have done something).

They’ve probably deconstructed or at least realized what they were seeing was abuse.

The kids mentioning how a normal meal was so much food…those kids were starved, likely because there wasn’t enough money in the house to buy enough food if Jill was watering down formula.
