shaun4860 Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Just watched a documentary on a wife physically and mentally abusing her husband over a 20 year period. My Wife, My Abuser, The Secret Footage. Very disturbing to watch. Channel 5. Worth a watch on catch up 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the fault of the patriarchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) In this day and age I think this is far more common than you might think, problem is that men feel weak if they admit to being abused. Sometimes other factors come into play such as having an Alcoholic partner/wife, an Angel during the day but once they hit the bottle in the evening all hell breaks loose. Makes things even more difficult if you have guns and the abuse includes physical abuse as you simply cannot fight back. You just have to stay strong in your head (or so I'm told)..

The children were old enough to accept this as normal 'grown up' behaviour. It then continues through the next generation. The 'Wife' needed some serious psychiatric treatment though.

Newbie to this Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 If he retaliated in self-defence, he would have more than likely found himself arrested as the abuser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That (sadly) applies not only to this example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She got 4 1/2 years. If you watched further on the dad told his oldest daughter just say what she thought the mother wanted to say and when the mother wasn’t looking to wink at him so they knew they were good. The dad and 3 girls moved to North Yorkshire to start a new life together. I feel sorry for the next guy she hooks up with on release 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I saw this mentioned in the Telegraph. Was this the one where the wife ran a prison or some such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
