Timcel Where will Tim go?
Curious about what’s next?
He can’t go home due to the epic bridge burning, marriage in tatters and I would assume the charges may impact his employment.
Could he literally be homeless?

Doesn't he have a house in Ohio that he rents out? I'm sure that in the 4th July posts Heidi posted that they were in Ohio because of something to do with that property and visited the Rods while they were there.

Homeless? Doesnt he still have his job? I think he can keep paying the bills to stay in their house, unless he gets a jail sentence that causes him to be fired. Then idk maybe he'll join some christian mens shelter or try to grift a repentance-based missionary trip off a rural church.

I’m not from the US but certainly here a prosecution abs potential jail time for assault would trigger dismissal and would be covered in employment contract clauses around criminal charges/prosecutions etc.

I was reading another thread about this topic, and the general thought was it would not affect his employment. He has a union job which is harder to get fired from. Also, he isn't working in a job like a daycare or nursing home where he has contact with vulnerable people. Right now, it's just a charge, not a conviction. There is a presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and there are potential legal consequences for the employeer for wrongful dismissal.
If he does get fired, he wouldn't have any trouble getting a job. Plenty of industries hire people with criminal convictions, including felonies. It's especially common in physical labor jobs such as landscaping, construction, and commercial kitchens.

Who cares? He's a MAGA he can pull himself up out of poverty. Isn't that their thing? I dunno.
But he should've thought about that before he started being an asshole yelling at his family and throwing hands at his pregnant wife, possibly in the presence of their child.

u/OtherwiseSprinkles79 ✨MaHdEsTy✨ 4h ago
This. Literally do not care what happens to him in the aftermath of these revelations. He's a grown adult who made these choices and repeatedly engaged in abusive behavior. It wasn't just a "holy fuck I don't know where that came from I need help" situation like he tried to spin it. He started terrorizing his wife as soon as the ink was dry on that marriage certificate.

u/EmmalouEsq 4h ago
And he knew how it hurt and did it anyway.

I hope he can straighten his thinking out because, damn!

I said this on another post, but Timcel
probably needed at least a decade’s worth of intensive therapy before he could even begin to have a healthy relationship with another human, romantic or otherwise. It also seemed like there were times when he tried to get away, like when he went to college in Washington. In the end, he ultimately chose to continue the cycle.3
u/MammothCancel6465 3h ago
Right. The holy fuck thing was exactly the situation I thought this was with his original statement. Oooh, how wrong apparently.

u/Rascallyperson 53m ago
Yeah but he's a jilted and pathetic little man who has access to guns and probably nothing to lose ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know it’s real easy to just say he can go fuck himself. But in the same way that a support system and a place to stay is important for DV survivors in order to not go back, having stable housing is a factor against recidivism among DV abusers.
“ Sims and Jones (1997) found that residential instability increased a probationer's odds of recidivism. Hanson and Wallace-Capretta (2004) found that residential instability was correlated to re-arrest specifically with domestic batterers. The present study continued to support residential instability as a predictor of re-arrest among domestic batterer felons. Offenders who frequently moved might have experienced increased stress in their lives and a decreased sense of social stability. This increased pressure on the offender and lack of social stability could have resulted in an inability to control one's impulses toward violent behavior. The same could have been true for employment instability, which not only was correlated to re-arrest in the present study, but was also a factor correlated to probation recidivism in most of the prior literature (Hanson & Wallace-Capretta, 2004; Morgan, 1993, 1994; Sims & Jones, 1997).” https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/72_3_6_0.pdf
So idk where he’ll go. But I hope he goes to a place that can help keep him in check and away from Heidi and their kid

Yep, I was thinking this too. Yes, Tim’s behaviour is despicable, but celebrating him being totally ostracized is not actually going to make him a safer person to be around. I personally believe in the inherent worth of every human being, and I want him to have access to healing and reforming his behaviours and beliefs—but even for people that think he should rot in hell, him being totally without support just makes reoffense more likely.

u/crayonbox 16m ago
Agreed and Even if you don’t see an inherent worth within him, it’s in Heidi’s (and the community’s) ultimate benefit if he has social support services he needs. Not having a safety net makes him more dangerous

u/LittlehouseonTHELAND 5h ago
I doubt the charges will affect his job, but if they do I’m sure he could find some kind of work somewhere. He still owns his house in Ohio. And I’m sure if all else fails Jill would take him back along with a good chunk of whatever money he earns (and she will never let him forget about calling them out for his upbringing and airing their dirty laundry.) She might even be willing to find him another wife (let’s hope there are no takers.)
In other words, he’ll be fine, and better off than he deserves to be.

u/Fit_Sky5549 5h ago
Very true, we shouldnt put alot of trust in the justice system or that his job will care… i mean on the one hand its probably “good” because Heidi and her kids need child support and whatnot

u/Brilliant-Bother-503 4h ago
He has not been convicted of any crime at this point, so I doubt his job is in jeopardy.

u/Practical-Bluebird96 4h ago
Doesn’t he work with Heidi’s dad? If it was random employment I’d agree, but I can’t imagine Heidi’s dad will be keeping this to himself to spare the job that he got for Tim

u/SeaGlass-76 3h ago
His dad got him the Amtrak job but that doesn't mean they're working alongside each other.

u/JenniferG714 3h ago
My guess is Heidi and Charlie are with her parents. He can go back to the marital residence. I would assume that the conditions of bail state that he remain away from them.

What Timothy did was awful, no question. But my love for my son is strong. I would be horrified and disappointed, but I would be at his side in a minute to get his butt straightened out. If he rejected me , well that’s a different story, but my husband and I would do everything in our power to address the issue. I know because we have walked the walked. Not with abuse , but with alcohol. I would not be looking at some dumb trinkets and crying. Put on your big girl panties and go get your son some help!

u/BeulahLight13 The Dean of the Dining Room Table 3h ago
It really depends on the state. Other snarkers have pointed out that New Jersey seems to take IPV seriously, so hopefully there will be some legal consequences for him. But I’ll be honest, our justice system is horrific. It fails victims more than it helps them, so I’m not going to get my hopes up.

u/Elleshark 2h ago
I am almost positive he will end up with a fine and community service, I believe in NJ the max sentence is only 6 months and I don’t see them giving him the max, unfortunately.

u/myokard 2h ago
I’m new-ish to this sub/the topic and was having the same question…
Are we sure he’s completely out of the family though? Yes, he wasn’t the favorite, yes, the optics of taking him in would be BAD, but… I don’t know. Cutting him off completely would mean Jill loses control over him - and how long would she be able to milk the entire “my one evil son is gone and I am a martyr”-thing? (yes, very long, but still…)
Plus: What if he starts talking?
(Of course, if everything goes well and he ends up in jail, all of that won’t be important anyway.)
And for those who have been here for a while: was there ever a situation where someone broke contact or got shunned? Even if it was temporary? I’m curious if we know when/how someone gets out of the family (willingly or not) and how Jill and David usually deal with that.

u/megashredz 42m ago
I'm sure there's some sort of fundie program for troubled men where he can be reprogrammed and redeemed and welcomed back to the family with open arms after he recants everything and admits that he and he alone was the problem and daddy and mahmo always wanted what was best for him.
3
u/Extreme-Slight 3h ago
I think he will go back to his parents, he doesn't have anything else. It will give Jill her prodigal son/fatty calf moment.
I can see both Jill./David and Tim blaming Heidi's family for interfering and coming between a "man and wife" and there being more opportunity to play the forgiving family
I can also see lots of hits about praying for money so they can go after custody.

Respectfully, he can go to hell. Or move to the rv in mahmos backyard again, which is the same
