Was he a a terrible father to his kids too? Probably. Criminal? I guess a judge will decide, but I have my doubts.

I yelled pretty loudly at my 4 year old who drew on our new $4000 couch. Is that 'psychological abuse'?

Jesus dude, did you read the article? Your little comparisons aren’t adding anything to the conversation.

Well (a) there are affidavits swearing to more than yelling and (b) no, a judge won't decide if it's criminal, at least not in this proceeding.

she is a psychotherapist, after all. who knows what she got the kids to believe.

What exactly is it that you think psychotherapists do?

It's absolutely unfortunate it took his kids having an awful upbringing and having to bring it into the public forum to get us here.

He'd be a perfect owner for the Oilers

Obviously they manipulate people and sometimes eat them.

The tools and techniques they are trained to use can be used in many ways, good and bad.

considering what false memories and hatred of the other parent an ex can implant in a child, I'm sure a trained doctor can do much more psychological damage.

I've read a little bit about psychotherapists, and other therapists, regarding manipulated memories. (not enough to say I'm knowledgeable)

Might not be the case here, but a bitter ex who is a trained professional. I wouldn't be too quick to call the guy guilty of abuse.

Not trying to excuse this behaviour or derail the thread but Gosbee was very very mentally ill.

“The other side he hides from view,” she maintains in the book. “Our family has lived under his ‘dark cloud’ for decades. We live with the roller coaster of George’s alcohol and substance misuse, his suicide attempts, his violence and abusive behaviour, and his repeated attempts to get better through therapy and rehab. He’s been diagnosed with ADD, bi-polar disorder, and borderline personality disorder, and has been prescribed a long list of medications that he either doesn’t take, or takes sporadically, fearing they’ll dull what it is that makes him so successful … The truth is that George’s life has been one long fight: fighting for success, fighting for social approval, fighting his addictions, fighting me, fighting to stay alive, and fighting to keep these parts of himself from being discovered.

But let’s quickly throw some allegations out there for other parties. From the hip. You know… for balance.

Make sure you stretch after that gigantic leap, wouldn't want you to pull something.

Having suffered abuse nearly identical to what these kids (now adults) are saying, I kindly invite you to preform two obscene acts upon yourself, the second proceeding directly from the first. This isn't the type of #### you just make up and convince your kids of. This is the type of horror those people will have to live with and work to overcome for the rest of their lives. I, for one, fully believe them and hope their 'father' gets the absolute worst that he can get from this.

Yes, but that falls into the physical abuse category.

I dunno, do you also tell him that he is the R word his entire life, that no one will ever love him as an adult, that even if someone loves him enough to be with him (marriage, partnership, whatever), that eventually they will just want to beat his brains in, take any kids they might have, and commit him to a psychiatric facility, so that they can divorce him and go on to marry someone leaps & bounds better for him? Will you tell his spouse/partner that they should leave him, that he's not worth it, that he will just make them sad/mad/crazy?

How about every mistake he makes, if you're people of faith, do you tell him that he must re-accept jesus into his heart? Do you try & cast demons out of him any time he disobeys?

Do you or will you make him responsible for his siblings behaviour? Will every mistake they make be on him? If they get into drugs, will that be his fault too?

Will you manipulate his siblings against him/each other, so they can't compare notes on what you're doing to him/them, so they never speak up about it until they're adults?

If someone sexually abuses him or his siblings (should he have any), will you tell him "everything happens for a reason, that person is a good christian man, you shouldn't destroy his witness, you should forgive him and act like nothing happened, and for heaven's sake, why on earth would you keep your children away from him, they should get to know their family?"

Will you tell other family members that he's a devil child, will you lie about him to them, making out like he's basically Damien so they heap scorn and censure on him?

Will you send people to speak to him, after he cuts you off for his own sanity, to plead your case, convincing them that you were the best parent ever, that you have no idea why he'd cut you off, please oh please, make sure my beautiful boy knows I love him and will welcome him back into my arms at any time?

Will you give him birthday gifts like a chocolate bar and a magazine, while he watches his siblings get impressive, expensive birthday gifts, all whilst telling him you couldn't possibly afford anything more than the chocolate bar and magazine for him, to make sure he's fully aware of his place in the family?



I could go on. And on. And on....

IMHO, when you have kid that are under 10, you shouldn't buy couch that cost that much. You want fancy furniture, should wait till kids are old enough to move out. So, the onus is not on your 4 year old kid it's on you. Of course you shouldn't yell at the kid, you should yell at yourself instead.

That is not far off from a ball-park price for a pretty ordinary couch in today's market, no?

Yeah, the couch is certainly not fancy, but it is new and it's fabric not leather. So the marker was very visible. It's L shaped.

I'm not even sure where I was going with that story with my kid and the couch.

But by all accounts, yes, Aquilini is a dickwad.
