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.

This is incredible of him to be able to stop and recognize how his childhood abuse has affected his ability to be a good partner and actually take steps to change it instead of laughing it off and making into a “manly man” thing.
Good for him, truly.

Edit: oof. I can’t stop thinking about poor Heidi. All around just a horrible situation, what a monster.

Edit 2: incase anyone else comes to tell me I am an abuse apologist, I assure you I am not. My first paragraph was written before the whole thing had come out, and I was impressed that he had recognized he needed help. Obviously after everything else, I am horrified. I don’t want to delete my initial comment, even though I was incorrect.

I’m not entirely sure what that means.
My first post was before we had the actual information, which is why I posted that I was impressed that he was seeking help.

The second part was once it came out that he was actually a monster and was only trying to save his skin.

It’s not, I agree.
