I am and I am not. The problem I originally posted that rude post pales in comparison to the problems this one woman I know has.
The daughter of my sister-in-law's sister, married a real ___hole. She unfortunately had two kids with the bum. She is no great piece of work either. A couple of years ago, they both lived in an apartment with their two kids. They were known to get drunk and do drugs(great role models for kids). On multiple occasions, the guy got drunk and got violent to the point where the women had to take the two kids away from the apartment for awhile to live with her mother. Finally on one occasion, it seems like they were heating the apartment with a space heater, it caught fire. When the firemen and cops came, the guy was drunk and they deemed the place unfit for the kids to live in and took the kids away. When they did that, the guy hit one the cops and got himself arrested. My sister-in-law sister, took custody of the kids. One was about 3 years old at the time(the boy) and the other was about 2(the girl). The girl was too young to know anything had happened. But the boy was just old enough to know something happened. To this day, the boy is very much afraid of fire and has behavior problems. In the two years after that, we thought they(the daughter of my sister-in-law's sister and her husband) were finally getting their act together. They seemed to be off the drugs and booze and did what they had to do to get the kids back. They eventually did get the kids back. We all thought that might be the end of it. But, just two days before Thanksgiving, the daughter of my sister-in-law's sister, came home from work. She found her husband drunk. He became violent. He started hitting her. (This guy is built and is very very strong, he is capable of doing very serious damage with his hands. He could very easily break every bone in my body, and I am stronger and bigger than his wife) The boy(now 4) woke up came out just in time to see his Daddy hitting his mommy. She called the cops and had the guy arrested. It turns out he had taken the kids to a bar to get a bottle of whatever booze he got drunk on. After that, she gets on his computer and discovers the guy has been posing on several dating sights as a single man and, according to other tenants of the apartment complex, has been seeing other women. We can only hope that this will be the last straw and that she will divorce the bastard. I can only imagine what kind of scars this will leave on the kids, especially the boy(the girl fortunately slept through the whole thing). I would love to take a baseball bat and beat the shit out of the ___wipe. I do not understand how anyone could do the things he did. How can someone beat their wife? and how can they do it in front of their 4 year old boy? I see the kids at church every Sunday and on other occasions, I have grown rather fond of them. I am very, very worried about them.
