Is putting children into a home/environment with someone who already tried to kill them not child endangerment in a legal sense?! Unbelievable. I remember this story and I'm pretty sure he's been diagnosed as psychotic... he's probably smart enough to know that there's no room for failure the next time he tries. I really hope someone protects those children. 
Stockholm syndrome really messes with the minds of those who live through a lifetime of domestic abuse. Victims start believing they are a worthless POS and will protect the villains at all cost. Itās a very complex disorder.
Yup! And now I put up with my elderly stepfather who says he wishes he never married my mother and other complaints. All valid. But he was in his 30's. I was 6. I had not power. He had the power to leave her when he discovered who she was.
Do you think he is just trying to please you? How long is your mother dead?
Oh no way Pepper. He's elderly and just wrapped up in his own stuff. I asked him once, twice, if he had any empathy for what my brother and I endured as children (again he never once said anything to my mother when she was especially raging at me) he didn't answer. Complete silence. It's no use trying to talk to him about it. He doesn't get it. My mother's been dead about 12 years. She was about 7 years older than him.
I have different feelings about this case. I am thinking maybe they came from India to this country as immigrants because the name Patel is very common in that country, so maybe the culture of their country has something to do with it.
It's why we cannot ever figure out a woman. Don't even try.
Yep! I read the book decades ago.
Even Sigmund Freud was not able to do this after 30 years of his psychoanalysisIt's why we cannot ever figure out a woman. Don't even try.
