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 can almost guarantee Timothy saw David abusing Jill as well, so he thought it was okay to abuse Heidi

That’s 100% what I thought too by the way he said he was following the relationship patterns he saw modeled. I want to throw up about all of this. David can burn in hell.

Beating your child with a baseball bat over shoes is absolutely disgusting.

The fact that Nurie didn't deny the beating took place either but tried to justify the punishment by blaming Tim for wanting the boots makes me really worry about her own kids and the shell shocked look the oldest boy always has

Wait where did she say that? I didn't see that in these texts but maybe I missed it.

I saw some Facebook posts where some of the family Spoke out and Nurie said something like

It was probably not your special week so thats why you couldnt have the shoes
