His comment was, basically, this: "this guy's brain must be the size of a peanut".<br /><br />That restores faith in my parents. And no, they're not the kind that believe in punishment-free partnership-based parenting. But they still have something called "common sense".Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16766712434337900710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088188498900558941.post-36311087258542998952012-02-16T10:01:14.646-05:002012-02-16T10:01:14.646-05:00What I see that you are saying is that this guy di...What I see that you are saying is that this guy displays the typical mindset of a psychopath. I understand that the nature of a psychopath is to tear down a person’s will until it conforms to the will of<br />the psychopathic abuser. You see, psychopaths are more concerned with the<br />ascetics of a situation and getting the upper hand and looking glorified at the expense of another. If someone living in my home used a gun to settle a problem I would be finding ways to get that person out of my home and have trouble sleeping at night until that person was gone. Using a gun to settle a problem is wreckless and reflects bad parenting. The girl should go live with other family members where she will be safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088188498900558941.post-72920243972617071302012-02-15T01:13:01.549-05:002012-02-15T01:13:01.549-05:00Hannah loves her dad, because kids love their pare...Hannah loves her dad, because kids love their parents, which is why parenting is such a huge responsibility.Sachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881795536469619080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088188498900558941.post-58443491148046232272012-02-14T12:55:38.560-05:002012-02-14T12:55:38.560-05:00I just skimmed through these comments so I apologi...I just skimmed through these comments so I apologize if I'm repeating something, but I keep thinking, in NO other situation would this be ok. If I bought my friend a laptop, it's hers. I don't say, "Well, I bought it so it's really MINE." Why do parents do this with their children when they would never do it do anyone else??? Why is it ok in a "parent/child" relationship but no other?

What I'm thinking about is the fact that the girl is being punished for HAVING FEELINGS. Not for her behavior, but for her feelings. This man thinks he has a right to control a person's thoughts!!

It means that [if] the nice guy who's not jealously possessive dates her, she will find him *too nice* because she's addicted to drama. She will choose to marry the guy who *shows his love* by raging and controlling her." ~ Sylvia Toyama<br /><br />I have been sickened by this story. Sickened by making a hero out of a weak man who demonstrated "might is right," who committed violence and destroyed property in a fit of rage, who does not see his teenaged daughter as a human being. My property was never destroyed like this, but I was ruled by rage as a child and my rights were denied as my parents saw fit. And guess what? I'M NOT OKAY. Now I am ruled by my own rage, which I struggle to control. I am determined to master this because I see clearly that it is wrong to perpetrate this violence on my own kids. But I struggle against myself every. single. day.J.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13743974747816664631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088188498900558941.post-37521219342143573562012-02-14T09:33:27.295-05:002012-02-14T09:33:27.295-05:00And add this to his inane rantings about how she d...And add this to his inane rantings about how she didn't yet have a job (at 15. In school full time and helping around the house considerably. In an economy when many qualified adults struggle to find a job). What would be the point of earning more money to buy something that isn't hers and can be destroyed at will?

I think of myself at 15 and my relationship with my father, and how it wasn't until I was almost 30 that I was able to fully admit to myself that he was not really a father at all and that he was a person I didn't want in my life. It took my parent's divorce and an incident where I saw how he used my children to gain attention for himself that I was finally able to be honest and make that break. Before that I was protecting myself from the pain of admitting I had an emotionally distant and abusive father (and especially abusive toward my mother), and a way of protecting my mom. As a teen and young adult I kept up appearances because to all our friends and family we were a healthy happy family, and my dad was a great upstanding moral sort of guy. <br /><br />It was all a lie. Part of me knew that even as a teen, but not enough to say it openly. I am sure that at 15 I would have extolled my dad's virtues and said he was a good father. By the time I was in college and out of the home, I would have been a little more honest and said he wasn't great, but not awful, just kind of not there for me. It is only now as an adult with a family of my own that I can say he was controlling and emotionally abusive.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589450319640171616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088188498900558941.post-6372530472034180522012-02-14T09:30:41.524-05:002012-02-14T09:30:41.524-05:00Well said Vicki.

And all those people who support him, you can't tell me they didn't say it think the exact sme things when they were a teen. I know I did. We just didn't have Facebook.

It's a vile disrespect for her property rights. It was anyway, but somehow to know that she had bought it with her own money makes it worse. Must be my capitalist upbringing.

She is the clear villain in this story to most people, as if they were never teenagers and never had complaints about their parents. So many people have said "Yeah, but I would never have posted that on Facebook." I would like to remind these people that they would never have heard her words were it not for her father reading them to the internet-at-large. He is the one who publicized her words."<br /><br />This is what bothers me the most. We were all teens. Most teens go through a anti-parent period. I never had Facebook as a teen so I have no idea what I would have said about my parents on there. I was always a good kid but still got in arguments with my parents at that age. I really don't like how people are talking about this guy. As though he is the model of all good parenting.Julie Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162499312302593916noreply@blogger.com
