  • The plaintiff dated the defendant and claims he was aggressive, possessive, and controlling. When she tried to break up with him, he threatened her with a knife. Now she’s suing him for the cost of a car. The defendant admits that he made mistakes, but he insists he’s trying to turn his life around because he has a child with the plaintiff and wants to be in his life.

    He’s talking fast because he’s anxious. He’s scared that he’s in front of a judge again having to explain himself and that he’s a new father. It does NOT justify anything he’s done to her. She needs to protect herself until he gets the help he needs.

      @@scottrogue946 that’s a really sad, and cynical way to view mental illness. I definitely think that all of his visits with his child should be supervised, and I don’t think she should even think about getting back into a relationship with him at this time, and probably not ever, however, to just write him off because he suffers from bipolar disorder, which is very treatable, is unfair. There but for the grace of God, all the chemicals in *your* brain are balanced. Psychological disorders can often be traced to physiological disorders, i.e., chemical imbalances, and that is no fault of his own. I just pray that he gets the treatment that he needs.

      I completely agree with you; I think the difference is that most people don’t interact with or work with people like this and so they don’t recognize it as a game. I’ve worked in populations with some of the same issues and you are absolutely right that it is a game. More often than not. It’s a lie from them and an attempt at manipulation. They’re not interested in being accountable, getting help, or doing better, they just want access to people. I don’t believe he’s sincere at all.

I was able to stay in control of our lives and as he struggled with mental health I moved to a new state very early in my sons life. He would have to come to us to visit and even then he never knew our address but my son only has pleasant memories and I was able to keep arguments and erratic behavior at bay. Unfortunately he lost his life during the pandemic in an argument with his gf in front of their son. I pray this man gets the help he needs. I pray this mother continues to be the light she is.

    This is heartwrenching. I feel for her and she should protect herself, and I feel for him because you can hear the anxiety in his muffled fast speech. I pray for both of them and their mental health too

    She's very nice you can tell... Good energy.... He's got issues but he owns up to them and that is the first step.... I pray if nothing else healing takes place so their child can come first and he can become the father he does deserve to be..

    This got me in my feelings, mental illness is real, and our judicial system needs to do better

    I live by "Always protect your mental by ANY means" because once that's destroyed...oh boy. I hope they both find healing.

    This saddens me 😖 she’s so terrified she can’t even hold her head up . He needs healing as well
