Re: Has Anyone Read this Blog? Razing Ruth...
It truly begs the question, "what do you do when fear and intimidation no longer serve to keep things under control."
He recognizes that she is no longer under his control. And yet, he has NO OTHER TOOLS in his parenting toolbox other than to continue to try to use fear to intimidate her into submitting. There is no relationship with which to call her back. The longer she is out from under his thumb, the more she will be able to recognize that he has no power over her.
TBH, I am moved to pity for him (this does not mean I excuse his poor behavior, nor the hurt he caused and continues to cause - he does still need to be called to account). He is as trapped in that lifestyle as anyone else. For him, to admit even a fraction of truth is contained in Ruth's blog would mean that his carefully constructed world is based on lies. So right now it's boiling down to who is lying: Ruth vs Dad. He is trapped by his lies, and can't allow any other Truth to exist.
