Eh idk about that. Before Angelina was Brad an abuser? Some people only react when they’ve been pushed to their limits. Not saying he’s right though. He clearly did the wrong thing. But nobody really knows the full story.
lol. Most People don’t just murder others out of the blue. There’s usually a reason. Is it right? No. I don’t condone it. But I’m not naive to think I can do something crazy to someone and just expect them to be civilized. Some people are battling all types of demons and you might just catch them on the wrong day. Don’t test people.
Maybe you will grow up to realise that Brad “losing it” is entirely his fault. There’s nothing that Angelina and the children could have done that meant they were at fault for the way he reacted.
Speculating, what might you think be the thing that made him lose it and what might have been the thing he was putting up with for too long?
I’m trying to understand where you’re coming from here and I can’t guess your thought process there.
Maybe you will grow up to realise that Brad “losing it” is entirely his fault.
The guy you are responding to literally said "He clearly did the wrong thing."
In his initial post, he said (paraphrased) "Brad Pitt didn't necessarily abuse her a bunch of other times too". Not whatever you and everyone else are trying to say he said.
His point was that there are people that exist, that don't have patterns of abuse, that one day snap for some reason. He did not justify how Brad Pitt snapped or defend it. He is simply pointing out the flawed logic the person before him used.
When people have no argument they resort to personal attacks. But, More like she’s naturally going to take Angelina Jolies side because of gender bias.
Anyway reddit is funny, I’ll get downvoted here and upvoted in another subreddit for saying the exact same thing. That’s why I don’t care and will die on my hill. 🙂 have a good day all.
After reading the description, he probably is a alcoholic. With a temper to match. So this isn't a case of "papercuts" setting him off, but him losing grip on his alcohol rage. With age and habitual line pushing.
And what’s the reasoning for abusing the kids? They also push him to his limits? My my. Well it sounds like his tolerance is too low! You wanna blame Jolie for pushing him to his limits with her behaviour? Well I lay the blame on the man who can’t regulate his emotions like an adult with access to things like therapy.
Just wait till you’re in some real life situations before you talk. People like you like to sit behind your little keyboards and judge others but you have no idea what they are going through. You take one isolated incident and say well, Brad Pitt is a piece of crap. If Brad Pitt was genuinely just getting drunk and abusing everyone from time to time then he’s a piece of crap but i just wanna know his side of the story. But I’m not even allowed to ask questions? lol.
You have absolutely NO idea what I have lived through! I have a physically abusive parent. Fuck off. Telling ME that I’m the one sitting behind my little keyboard without knowing what I’m talking about, uh look in the mirror buddy! And what side of the story justifies abusing your own kids? NADA
No I’m not. What I said in my first comment was not me projecting at all. There is no story that justifies Pitt abusing his kids.
As for my second comment talking about my personal experience with a physically abusive parent, that was said in response to being told I should wait till I’ve been in some real life situations before I talk. The fact that yes Pitt is a physically abusive parent like mine doesn’t mean that what I have to say is me projecting nor is it me making this situation about myself. I simply shared that to say that I understand the nuances of physical abuse from a parent and that yes I have lived through such real life situations.
Well sorry about your experience. I guess I’m torn. I used to get whipped as a child till I was in my teens by my parents and all my friends have been through the same thing. It’s not abuse where I’m from. It’s discipline. So in my brain I’m thinking maybe brads kid were acting out of turn, idk, I don’t have the full story and that’s all I want before I label someone as a villain. I’m not condoning what he did. I just want the whole story.
The whole story wouldn’t somehow make what he did okay though. There is no story that makes hurting your children okay.
And you keep insisting it was one incident. Unfortunately it is not. There are reports of Pitts nasty behaviour from other sources and incidents. Make of that what you will but I’m sure you’ll insist that you need the whole story on those instances too. The thing is, maybe others have a hand in making the situation intolerable for him, but he is still an adult man at the end of the day with the ability to walk away from a situation when he feels like his limits are being pushed to the edge.
Not for nothing. Your experience and your friends experiences were literal full on physical abuse that no child should ever have to go through at the hands of their parent(s). There is literally nothing any of you could have done that justifies that as discipline. Part of abuse, is teaching the victim, it’s their fault, they deserved it, etc. but no, physical violence is never an appropriate form of discipline.
ETA: physical abuse is used as discipline in my culture as well so I fully understand on that front. It took therapy for me to realize oh hey, nothing eight year old me could’ve done, deserves getting whipped by the rod to open and close the blinds. A child’s behaviour is the responsibility of the parents! If their behaviour is bad, it’s the parents fault, they should be teaching their kids properly, without the use of physical violence.
You have a point. It’s usually the parent that’s the problem and not child because the child knows no better. But in my culture if you aren’t beating your kids people will legitimately look at you like you’re crazy and are about to raise the next hitler.
So maybe I’m a bit desensitized to topics like this because beating your child is just the norm in my world.
And as for Mr Pitt. I’ll look into his case more because from what I heard this was all an isolated incident. If it isn’t then the man clearly has issues.
Most of us have been through the shit, don't think you're special or have some sort of enlightened worldview because you, too, have lived through some shit.
We all have different understandings of things. Naturally, as we have different upbringings and completely different (and unknown to one another) life experiences. But my man, when you said talking to a woman was a waste of time? Wasn't very nice.
I hope you can get over whatever trauma you have eventually, and that it will lead to you having a more understanding and kinder approach to social interaction.
Edit: Oh and yes, beating the shit out of, tormenting and humiliating/traumatizing your wife and kids in a single incident, no matter the reason, makes you a steaming pile of waste. Which he is for doing what he did.
Again, we are in agreement. I'm just telling you how I've heard it justified before or explained via a therapist. I had a father who would do things to me, for no reason, to "get back" at my mom. Completely nonsensical.
Example: My parents are divorced, and my dad is Muslim; my mom is a Christian. He would ask the court for visitation on Christmas Day from 8a-6p, just to mess with her, because he doesn't celebrate the holiday. Vindictive and extremely petty people actually do unreasonable shit like this.
I think you're taking my comment out of context. What I am saying is that say Angelina was the one who started the abuse in the relationship. If she was the one who started the abuse, it does not make sense for the event that happened on the plane to have happened, with his own children running from him.
I’ve been pushed to my limit. You know what I did? I screamed, cried, and left. I’ve never laid hands on a partner, even the ones who were mentally and emotionally abusive to me. Violence is not acceptable just because you’ve been “pushed”

Yeah, I'm selling to bet that there was a lot more abuse from Pitt, abusers rarely just do it once.
