Second half of Jon Gosselin’s GMA interview – he ‘despises’ Kate

Jon Gosselin spends time with his kids in his front yard while at the same time greeting fans on Labor Day in Reading, PA
The second half of an interview with Jon Gosselin and his vacant wide-eyed “why me” stare airs on Good Morning America today. While Kate has been content to talk around her issues with Jon, getting in a well-placed barb here and there, Jon goes all-out and trashes the mother of his eight children, and claims she verbally abused him constantly. He also gives his perspective on the beginning of his relationship with Kate, and basically says that he met her at a time when he was young and stupid. She was attractive, organized and different than any other woman he had dated in that she had ambitions. According to Jon, that’s his entire reasoning for proposing. When asked if he has any regrets in his life, he says “I have no regrets in my life… Even if they were bad decisions, I learn from those decisions.” Ouch.

What’s more is that Jon trashes Kate for not airing their dirty laundry in public like he’s doing, and says “She’s not speaking from the heart. Please – the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV.” This is coming from the guy who said he didn’t want his kids googling him someday. That just doesn’t jibe with this tell-all approach, but I suppose it’s ok for him to talk smack about the mother of his children as long as he believes he comes across as the victim, right? According to Jon, he was practically locked up in the house during their whole relationship and given nasty tongue-lashings daily. It was so bad he said he cried constantly. That poor, pathetic creature:

In a second except of his Good Morning America interview, Jon Gosselin slams estranged wife Kate once again, claiming that her “constant verbal “abuse” caused strife in their 10-year-marriage.

“Our relationship will never be fixed,” he tells ABC News’ Chris Cuomo. “… I don’t trust her anymore. I was abused … I was beaten down … I’m not going back to that life style.”

Jon, 32, also slams Kate, 34 – whom he says ended their marriage – for spinning a different story to the media about the collapse of their marriage.

“She knows the truth,” he says. “I wish to God, she would speak from emotions … She’s not speaking from the heart. Please — the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV.”

Jon says their marriage reached a breaking point when he “stood up to Kate” for the first time, telling her that he wanted to go out with his friends.

“In 10 years, I’ve never gone out … When she said, ‘I don’t want you going out,’ I … I used to say, ‘OK, I’m not going to go out.’ I was very passive. This is the first time I said, ‘You know what? I want to see my friends. I’m going out,'” he says. “That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate … I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision … I was beaten down for so long, I couldn’t even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what’s she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know.”

Being married to Kate changed who he was, Jon says.

“My mom and my brothers, they say to me, ‘It’s so good to have the real Jon back. It’s so good to have the warm, loving, kind, caring person that we knew you when you were … before you got married,'” he says. “I’ve changed for her. Because I loved her … But don’t forget who you are. That’s what happened to me.”

Jon says he even tried therapy to make their marriage work, but Kate refused to go.

“I learned about myself. If she’s not going to therapy, she’s not going to fix herself, then it’s not going to work. It takes two people,” he says. “I have a $22,000 therapy bill. I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go.”

Reflecting on his failed marriage, Jon says, “I felt maybe I was too passive. Maybe I didn’t stand my grounds 10 years ago — even to stick up for my kids. But it’s gone. I can’t get that back.”

“I don’t cry, I cried at my dad’s funeral. That’s it,” he says, “but like, I’ve cried more now in the last, like, eight months than … my whole entire life.”

What does Jon want to say to viewers?

“I just want to let the world know that I’m a real person with feelings,” he says. “OK, I’ve made mistakes. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to go out to the clubs. But we all learn from mistakes, except mine are public.”

You know who this guy reminds me of? Lindsay Lohan, when she went on Ellen and defended her right to party, asking “Well should I not go grocery shopping either because when I do they like follow me in the store?” Jon is saying he was young, he didn’t know what he was getting into with Kate, and he was locked up in the house for ten years and verbally abused. Then he claims that Kate broke up with him because he started going out. He conveniently forgets to mention that Kate divorced him because he started going out with other women – multiple other woman, in instances that were well documented and backed up with details and witnesses in the tabloids.

People do know that Jon has feelings, but it sounds like he’s only feeling sorry for himself. It’s pretty incredible that Kate put up with his crap for so long. MSNBC’s The Scoop has more details of Jon’s latest PR blitz, including the fact that he’s hoping to improve his image but still manages to hit on most women in his immediate vicinity when he’s out.

While I was about to publish this story, more details of this interview came out. Jon is quoted as saying she “despises” Kate and believes she took his wedding ring. I guess his interview is even worse than we thought, and it was already pretty bad.

    What a piece of junk he is. *hurl*

  2. bros says:

    I think he is a sans-balls douche, but I get what he is saying. he was with a drill sergeant pathologically controlling and demeaning, verbally abusive woman for 10 years. its no surprise to me Kate would not go to therapy. personalities like hers dont think there could possibly be anything wrong with them, and you can see this from her interviews where she never takes personal responsibility for any of her actions, and repeats that this wasnt how her life was supposed to turn out. its all about control for her, and ceding it to an unbiased 3rd party wouldnt work. these are 2 flawed people, but she took advantage of his weakness and was content to do so for 10 years. if she thought he was such a spineless loser, she shouldnt have married him. however, the fact that he was spineless and hapless probably drew her to him, because he was so easy to dominate, and perfect for someone like Kate.

  3. Sassy says:

    “I’m Jon Gosselin and I was verbally abused for 10 years! boo-hoo!”

    I’m surprised Saturday Night Live hasn’t done a skit about this douche yet. Then again, maybe it’s cause he’s a nobody.

  4. Linda says:

    I feel for Jon – in many aspects he did give up his entire life for Kate – certainly he gave up his family. It’s nice to see that he still has the support of his family and I think it’s a good thing that his kids might now have a chance to have a relationship with his family. Something they didn’t have when married to Kate – she even cut ties with her family and IMO, it is really unfair to those kids!

    Kate was controlling and dominating and a real shrew to Jon – I can understand why he did some of the things he did once the marriage was over – it’s like any caged person finally getting a sense of freedom.

  5. If he didn’t go out for 10 years, where did he get “friends” who were in grammar school when he got married? Pathetic, lying loser who cares nothing about his kids, only about himself. Not only is he talking bad about their mother, he’s confirming for them the fact that he’s a spineless douche.

  6. K says:

    While I’ve never approved of their getting rich off their children, if you’ve ever been in a mentally/verbally abusive relationship, you’ll see that his breaking away and acting up are not that unusual when you are first freed from that type of life. Most aren’t the subject of the public eye while they go through it though.

    PS….Therapy will help if he seeks it.

  7. Popcorny says:

    What’s going on in that first picture (above)? Are those tourists watching this family from behind that fence?
    I’ve never watched the show so I don’t know. But that’s what it looks like … and that’s bizarre.
    Are there pics of the other side of that fence? Like with signs that say “Don’t Feed the Gosselins”? Are there vending boxes with quarter slots to dispense candy for the kids and condoms to John when they play or graze near the fence?
    But seriously, those poor kids, I feel badly for all this confusion that is tragically now their “norm”.

  8. trolip says:

    obviously you would not understand what he is saying if you have never been in a relationship with a narcissist. I always thought he was a good dad on the show. Kate would dress the kids up and never let them get dirty. They are living dolls to her. Very narcissistic mother. He is acting out because he is suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.when and if you are ever in a relationship with one for 10 years then perhaps you will be able to understand

  9. PJ says:

    Is he trying to boost ratings for their TV show? The ratings have been falling like a stone, maybe this is his attempt to revive them.

    If not, he should be quiet and chill out. Everybody feels very strong negative emotions when they’re in the throes of divorce. It’s a mistake to tell the world about them, because once you say something in the heat of the moment, you can’t take it back later after you’ve cooled off.

  10. texasmom says:

    Trolip — I was married to a narcissistic guy and they ARE unfixable. But where kids are involved, you just have to suck up and be the grownup. I have two kids and they really need at least one adult who is looking out for them, not him- or herself. So I can feel sorry for Jon but his kids need him to be a grownup for them, during the divorce more than ever.

  11. happymom says:

    I don’t disagree with his description of their relationship. What I think is disgusting is the way they BOTH talk about it in public. I also think that “legitimate” news should not keep discussing them either. GMA shouldn’t have his take. Larry King should not have Kate on his show. Shut up, work through your issues privately, and parent. Stop trying to garner public sympathy and understanding.

  12. LL says:

    And by telling the world about his sorry, sad life with Kate, he is still thinking of himself as a victim. He’ll never move on. “Oh what’s that?” says Jon as he watches LL rub her finger and thumb together. “Why Jon,” says LL. “It’s a tiny violin playing just for you.”

  13. MissLizzy says:

    I’m glad that when his kids google his name, they’ll find articles about him talking shit about their mother. Friggin piece of shit. If Jon wants to move on, that’s fine, but while he’s out screwing whores, Kate’s raising 8 children. The woman deserves some respect.. Jon on the other hand deserves to be bitch slapped.

  14. bros says:

    please misslizzy, kate and her army of staff is raising her 8 children. and please, I dont think its more harmful for kids to google their parents and see what they have said vs. experience kate’s abusing their father every single second, which I am sure they have noticed since they were consantly exposed to it. I dont think they are going to suffer instantaneous side effects of googling what their dad says. we dont even know what kate says to her kids about their father once the cameras are off. she’s a spiteful and hateful woman, and I can almost guarantee you she will bad mouth him and try to poison them to him. how mature was it for her to show up during his visitation days and make a HUGE F’ing SCENE at their house replete with having the cops being called and her turning on the waterworks. she isnt acting calm and together either. she also does her national tour of talking smack about jon and doing the poor me thing constantly. I think he is a damn loser, but so is kate, and she made most of this mess.

  15. HarbinsMom says:

    What a pathetic piece of nothing. Say what you want about Kate, but at least she has enough forethought, not to go on TV spewing crap about Jon. She is at least taking the high road. This guy is pathetic. Kate isn’t an angel, but she isn’t the scum he is. Poor Jon, poor abused Jon. GMAB. He’s just talking smack now because his image sucks. Hailey better watch out. The scum is showing his true self. She should be takin’ notes.

  16. Anna says:

    I don’t get why people give Jon grief. Sure, Kate is “stuck” with doing most of the work for the kids now but from watching the show, it’s plain to see that she wanted them a million times more badly than he ever did. She’s got what she wanted, except now she has to manage on her own. Due to her fault. You can’t abuse your spouse like she did forever and not expect them to snap and leave you and everything else behind at some point. And on the show, it was plain to see that Jon was suffering from her constant admonishments and humiliations. Kate lives only with extremes. Either you are 100% with (and that means under) her, or you are against her. I remember an episode where they renewed their marriage vows and she kept telling the kids they were doing it to show them that “Mommy and Daddy are staying together FOREVER”. Everytime she said that word in front of Jon, he looked scared and nauseated. I am all on his side. The man is 32. It is no surprise that after making a break for it, he flirts with every female he lays eyes on, that he parties like there’s no tomorrow, etc. It wouldn’t be how *I’d* celebrate freedom, but it obviously is doing him great good in regaining perspective and, most of all, feeling alive.
    Kate is not bad off either. She’s got all her precious kids and she’s got more attention in the media (i.e. more money) than she could have ever hoped for, had the show trickled on normally.

  17. amanda says:

    Jon and Kate are both selfish fools. I don’t care for either one of them, and I don’t need anymore proof that either are bigger idiots than I thought they were. Perhaps the only difference in my book is that Jon is acting out, going through a divorce, breaking up from his wife in public– and that makes you do crazy things. Especially when you feel as if you haven’t had any freedom in years– recall Mariah’s Butterfly and Glitter years. Kate has been a wench since day one. We will see how it plays out and if he is able to go back to more reasonable behavior. BUT I REALLY JUST WISH THEY WOULD GO AWAY!!!!

  18. Catherine says:

    Bottom line, he needs to stop with the interviews. His kids will be googling him someday when they want to know what happened to Mom and Dad and they are going to read all this crap. He will regret his actions and his words when his kids turn against him for bashing their mother. Not cool.

  19. Tazina says:

    Okay they’ve both said their piece and now they should just deny any more interviews. I agree with Jon since I watched every show. He was abused and horribly so. He tried his best and she still berated him at every opportunity. I can’t imagine the abuse he took when the cameras were off. He took it for 10 years which is amazing.

  20. niki39 says:

    I don’t think they were like that when they first got married. Its having two sets of multiples that do that to you! Can you imagine have 8 kids! sextuplets! Omigosh! How can any marriage survive that!? We just had one baby, that is a very fussy baby and we find ourselves arguing more and being more on edge with each other.

  21. PoorJon says:

    I didn’t think it was possible to dislike this dirtbag more than I already did, but everytime he opens his mouth, my hatred of him goes up a little higher. WTH is he trying to prove? He is such a POS douchebag. STFU with the poor me routine and grow a pair already.

  22. Firestarter says:

    His face just makes me want to punch kittens!

    What MAN allows himself to be a doormat for years and then whines about it non-stop? Have some pride and self respect and STFU!

    He chose to stay with her and have children with her. She didn’t become a shrew over night, so I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. He is a disgrace and he should know that most of the nation despises him and his douche bag ways and his stupid, troglodyte face!

  23. fizXgirl314 says:

    After watching some of the clips that have been floating around of this show, I have come to the conclusion that this guy is and always will be a big whining sack… While Kate may have spoken her mind most of the time, he was content just standing around, being passive aggressive and giving the camera puppy dog eyes, hoping the audience would show him sympathy so that he could continue playing the vicim…

    I honestly feel really sorry for Kate because she seems really organized and together, and this guy seems to be acting like a total dipshit most of the time just to piss her off and then whine about the lectures he gets afterward… keep playing that game idiot, everyone knows playing the passive aggressive whiny fool is a win win situation in life *eyeroll*

  24. the original kate says:

    @ anna: so it’s kate’s fault that they have 8 kids? she didn’t get pregnant alone, you know – jon also agreed to go through IVF twice. now that the kids are here he needs to man up and be a real father instead of a victim. regardless of what he wants, he is a 32 year old father of 8 and he needs to stop acting like a pathetic, washed up fratboy.

  25. Carol says:

    Firestarter-LOL!!!!

  26. Anna says:

    @original kate: from watching quite a few episodes of the show on youtube (I’m not in America), yes, I do believe it’s Kate fault. I’m not saying he didn’t want kids, I actually think that when they were first married and in love (and I think Kate might have been less controlling without so many kids around), he probably longed for kids with her. Sure, he wanted the first set of twins and he agreed to the IVF treatment. But come on, the decision to keep the next set of multiples, at any cost, that was Kate all the way. By that time, Jon was so beaten into submission he couldn’t have gone against it. I’m speaking from experience with (married) couples where one has such a strong will that opposing it seems foolish and dangerous to the other. Of course none of us are in Jon and Kate’s skin, but this is how I interpret the situation.
    I don’t think that Jon is a weakling or big baby per se. From the show, I conclude that Kate gradually made him into that and that he lost himself in that part. Now that he has come up for air, I don’t blame him for going a bit nuts. I think he loves his kids, now that there are 8 and they’re not going anywhere, dearly. But good god, give the man time to find himself and readjust. I think that once he gets into his own again, he will be there for them and “man up” as people are saying. I say give him time, let him go wild, he will do the responsible thing in the end. After all, he does have a record of fully and commitedly supporting his family, despite Kate’s monstrous, controlling ego. He’ll get there again in time, but maybe happier than before, because there finally is distance to Kate’s disturbing influence. I’m sure he’ll be a good dad again. There just isn’t any chance of him being Kate’s good husband again.

  27. Sudini says:

    Well said Firestarter, FizXgirl & The Original Kate! Seriously, Jon is just as responsibile for his unhappiness at this point. And he’s grossly immature in the way he’s handling it.

  28. mollination says:

    How creepy that people are standing at the fence of their yard watching those poor kids like they’re the main attraction. And he’s not even doing anything about it.

    Kate is a hag – she was just smarter about handling her image post-split. Does no one remember how much we all hated her 6 months ago?

    Jon is annoying too, but I know a lot of people who waste a certain amount of time doing something and then regress to whatever age they started doing this (for jon, age 22) and “take back” the time they feel they lost. He’s emotionally 22 and he’s doing all the things he wishes he would of done the year he chose to get married instead. Not to mention, 32 year old men aren’t all that mature these days as it is.

    I’m not defending him, but what he’s doing is totally transparent. I don’t think he’s the devil for it. Just embarassing.

  29. Anastasia says:

    Ok any relationship takes two. She was and is very verbally abusive and who knows what else (just watch any single episode to see what I mean–she also humiliates him quite a bit).

    But I would watch it and think “why doesn’t he stand up for himself?”

    Well, he does, it just doesn’t happen often and isn’t forceful enough. They showed a clip of him asking her why she treats him “like a dog” and stuff like that. But apparently what was needed was “EXCUSE ME I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO LIKE THAT, BUT I’M AN ADULT AND YOU WILL TREAT ME AS SUCH.”

    But he didn’t do that. So that’s his deal.

    But her deal is being abusive to him. She has still not copped to that. He has copped to not being strong enough in standing up to her.

    I watched my stepdad take abuse off my mom for 20 years. They are still together and he’s a shadow of a person. He almost doesn’t exist. He just takes it and takes it and takes it (and drinks a lot). She treats him exactly the way Kate treated Jon, only with my mother it got worse over the years (as abuse does).

    If this were a man treating his wife this way, people would be up in arms. But because it’s a man being treated this way, I guess it’s ok, huh?

    That’s sickening. Yes, he’s whining and bitching and they BOTH need to stop saying anything to the press and GO AWAY. They need to get on with their divorce, they both need counseling, their kids need counseling and they need to live their lives privately and allow their kids to have private lives (for once).

    But that won’t happen because God forbid the gravy train ends.

    Seriously, boycott these people. I’m begging everyone. CB, boycott all stories about them. Don’t watch their show. The only way this will end is if interest in them DRIES UP.

    Team Kids.

  30. Anastasia says:

    Firestarter: if she didn’t become a shrew overnight, then he didn’t become a whiny boy overnight, either. The argument works both ways: they BOTH knew what they were getting into.

    Why was she stupid enough to marry and have EIGHT children with someone suppoosedly so dumb, whiney, douchey and immature? Those decisions don’t exactly reflect well on her own intelligence and maturity.

  31. lucy says:

    Gross. I don’t disagree with his assessment of their relationship, she did seem to be abusive towards him. However, he chose to marry and have a family with her, so it’s his bad decision. That does not give him license to go running around like a total tool and say terrible things about his kids’ mother in public. She is doing the same thing, and I truly feel bad for these kids, who not only have to deal with a difficult divorce, but have to watch it played out on TV and in the magazines. It’s sick, what these parents are doing, and I wholeheartedly agree that all the news organizations need to stop giving them airtime to do it.
    I don’t blame him for wanting to end the marriage, but I blame both of them for doing it in such a horribly exploitative and public way. When the marriage fell apart, that should have been the end of the show, interviews, etc. Have a little dignity and put the kids emotional well being first!

  32. Firestarter says:

    I am sure she became a shrew when she realized what a complete idiot he was and what a complete fool she was for not having seen it earlier.

    Bottom line- He is the more female of the two.

  33. UrbanRube says:

    Does he think his kids won’t turn up the fact that he despises her on Google someday? I don’t like either of them, but think I should point out that, according to her brother and sister-in-law, she gave him his walking papers and an agreement to just pose for the cameras well before he started going out.

  34. sarah says:

    Giant Douche

  35. Cheyenne says:

    That whining douchebag would turn the sweetest woman into a shrew. Somebody needs to kick his ass but good.

  36. telesma says:

    And Fatboy grows ever more douchetastic. It’s like he’s trying to get some Douchenozzle of the Year award.

    I don’t like Kate any better, but sheesh. STFU, at least for the sake of the kids.

  37. Ana says:

    Okay Lindsay calls the papparrazzi. Everyone knows that.

    Anyway, his mistakes wouldn’t be out for the world to see if he didn’t AIR THEM!

    These two are too busy pointing fingers at each other to see the real victims which are their children. I can’t imagine what is’ going to be like for them to read all of this stuff later on.

    Yea Kate is a b!tch and she is playing on the sympathy and being incredibly fake. But if he cared about hsi kids and his public image he wouldn’t be out partying.
    Hell, I’m only 21 years old and I know better than these two. There’s no way I would act like them.

  38. lizzy says:

    I’ve read many comments on the Web from people who live in Reading who claim to know Jon G. Supposedly he has been anything but cooped up in the house for 10 years. He’s well known for cavorting with younger women who live in the area. Basically the locals say he’s a liar. Granted, you cannot believe everything or everyone you come across on the Net, but I’ve seen too many comments with a ring of truth to them. I don’t believe him, don’t trust him and certainly don’t like him.

  39. Aspie says:

    Kate is no saint either so I don’t know what’s up with the constant praising all of a sudden with “Saint Kate”. PUH-LEEZE, they both made each other miserable and are both handling their situation poorly for their kids now.

    Team kids.

  40. Anastasia says:

    Wow, Firestarter and lizzy apparently live in their house and have lived with them their entire marriage.

    Firestarter in particular–how the heck would you KNOW that she became a shrew AFTER she married him? Huh?

    Give me some proof of this.

    Otherwise, your argument is nothing but hot air. No substance. She knew what she was getting into, too.

    No excuses for EITHER of them. I don’t get why people need to select a team. If you need to, be Team Kids. They don’t seem to have any say in any of this insanity. And they’re the ones that have been making the money!

  41. rarahrarah says:

    It’s the 21st Century, ladies and gentlemen. Women abuse their husbands. 🙁

  42. yae says:

    “In 10 years, I’ve never gone out … When she said, ‘I don’t want you going out,’ I … I used to say, ‘OK, I’m not going to go out.’ I was very passive. This is the first time I said, ‘You know what? I want to see my friends. I’m going out,’” he says.

    rahrah. I’m going to be passive aggressive and ignor your comment, but let everyone know I am hurt by that by rolling my eyes at it and slumping over in a submissive position.

    “Yae slumps over in a submissive position (obviously hurt by rahrah). Yae looks around to see who is paying attention to her weakened state. Yae parties when everyone feels sorry for her.

    Passive as in……passive AGRESSIVE.
    OMG he is the poster child.

  43. Daniel says:

    i’m in a mentally abusive relationship and there’s now way i can leave it. I recently lost my job and she works as a nurse and makes most of the money now. If I had money I would leave, but I also have a 11 year old son to worry about too. Life is complex and not black and white people. Sorry but my sympathy lies mostly with Jon. his only problem is he should have left her sooner. And when he did leave he should have stayed out of the limelight for a bit.

  44. jaundicemachine says:

    They are both terrible, terrible people for whoring out their children.

    And I feel like a terrible person for catching reruns of their show (while nannying, no less!).

    But if I was forced to pick a side, I’d pick a full-fledged douchebag over a narcissistic c*nt, any day.

    They both just need to drop off the face of the earth, though. If only for their children’s sake.

  45. Shanny says:

    Jon shut the f up for your kids sake you friggen fool, all yoy do is make yourself look worse every time you open that mouth, shut up allready pig!!!!

  46. Goddess711 says:

    Over fabricated and probably told to spout this bullshit by his lawyers. I’m telling ya folks, he wants the house, the kids, all the goodies and whatever Kate makes – he’s setting itnall up now. Newsflash: it won’t work, Jon, you’re making yourself look like a guy worth abusing.
    Shmuck.

  47. Victoria says:

    Wait, didn’t he know Kate and her personality when he married her? I’m confused as to why it now all of a sudden bothers him? And while I only have one child, I can only imagine the stress it is to have 8 children. No wonder she was militant! The woman has a whole football team to be responsible for. As for John’s newest girlfriend who he claims is his soul mate, he should keep in mind how much he’s changed over the years, and apply that to his still young and life-experienced challenged girlfriend. And as a mother to a child who’s parents are no longer in a relationship together, STOP the tit-for-tat; it’s only going to hurt the children in the long run.

  48. ashley says:

    I didn’t watch a lot of this show. I maybe caught 1 or 2 shows before all the mess started. But I was told by a few people that she was verbally brutal to Jon. One man even said that if his wife talked to him like that, he’d kill her. So she must have been real bad. My father was beaten down verbally by his wife who ran around on him and he died of a weak heart. Undoubtedly due to her berating him and screwing around. I don’t understand why spouses put up with that BS, whether they’re a man or a woman. It’s not right, period. Abuse is abuse. My dad would still be here had he never met that skank!!

    Victoria, sometimes people don’t show their true colors until the “I Do’s”. I’m sure they wait a bit to make sure the spouse feels they have some time invested in the marriage.
