And a lot of the people who don't get help end up in jail exactly because their attitudes are not justified by their mental issues
Unfortunately, her father seems to be a psychopath. They're the most difficult people to treat because in their minds they don't even believe there is anything wrong with them.
Psychopath isn’t the right word because he doesn’t have episodes of psychosis, but it’s true he doesn’t think anything is wrong. Which is EXACTLY WHY everyone else needs to be holding him accountable and making him seek treatment, instead of ignoring and enabling.
Tbh I’m more pissed at her mom? Because she knows her ex husband is not a good person; I’m assuming that’s why they divorced. But she just watches as he beats and manipulates their daughter even after years have passed. Like? That’s your child too, lady??? Be a good mom for once.
I get that he’s not a regular dad. That he’s got mental issues that cause him to be irrational. But ffs, that doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants! Get him in therapy! Or medicated! Plenty of people have personality or mental disorders but you know what they do? They get professional help so they don’t hurt the people they love.
