I'm not at all advocating a lack of consequences here, but there sure is a lot of callous self-righteousness in this thread. Heaven help whoever pops up in your family with one of these issues.

Life has nuance. Keyboard warriors rarely do.

The dude charged her and beat her unconscious. As he was being dragged away he was spitting on her and screaming that he'd kill her.

I'm as empathetic as the next person, but that's a monster. You can call it callous if you want, but he's no different than a pitbull mauling a child at this point. So many people are dead or their kids are dead because they swore they could just nurture it away.

There's no helping this guy. He's damaged and he'll end up killing someone if he's not medicated 24/7 and/or locked in a padded cell.
