In her place, it would have been tempting to just hang up and leave if I really thought he was coming over there. He sounded angry and ready to hit someone. Clearly, he has hit her before. That means he would have definitely done it again. Having the smarts to tape the conversation. It tells me that she has had lots of these calls and she finally remembered to turn on the recorder.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-4967853165480755292010-07-13T13:50:08.801-06:002010-07-13T13:50:08.801-06:00Another movie hero of mine bites the dust...

He lost me back with the drunk stuff several years ago. Just another sick d*ck of a man. Actually he's a lower form of life than a man.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-70930555568845498172010-07-13T11:18:35.227-06:002010-07-13T11:18:35.227-06:00Holy crap Chris...what a fantastic outline and bre...Holy crap Chris...what a fantastic outline and breakdown of abuse and abusers....I'm completely impressed. I've never been abused the way Mel is abusing her gf (I've had a verbally critical bf once, but that's about it). I would say anyone who has though needs to read this post!<br /><br />P.S. Braveheart used to be one of my favorite movies....nothing's ever gonna' be the same again now that I've heard about this bullshit. It's too bad, but I'm glad he's been exposed for who he is.Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09903038555489140718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-56385754485354885582010-07-13T06:42:03.685-06:002010-07-13T06:42:03.685-06:00As a mother of girls, I hope you are sharing this ...As a mother of girls, I hope you are sharing this message with them as well. (LOL! I know you are!) I remember when Chris Brown abused Rihanna and my 14 year old daughter made the comment that he was drunk, that was why he did it. I just about blew my top and gave her a lecture like no other.<br /><br />I'm glad you wrote about this. It's another opportunity to teach my daughter the importance of having enough self-respect to forbid abusive people to have any place in your life.karen@fitnessjourneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15161983893717225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-36026746107037738912010-07-13T05:49:51.981-06:002010-07-13T05:49:51.981-06:00So very sad.So very sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-12506211413047573692010-07-13T05:45:04.408-06:002010-07-13T05:45:04.408-06:00((hugs))

Not physically, but in all the separation stuff, the guilt, the mental manipulation. But then I listened to the taped conversation (or as much as I could stand) and, while it didn't change my opinion of my exhusband, it made me realize that Mel Gibson is unhinged and that the physical abuse characteristic must add something else to the mix. Because all that screaming and swearing. It's pretty terrifying.<br /><br />And, as your faithful, loyal Jewish reader, I know you're a big supporter of Israel! :)Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-9484084985796976032010-07-12T23:49:47.985-06:002010-07-12T23:49:47.985-06:00I am so disappointed!

I like the way you broke down the behavior. If there is anyone out there who has found themselves in a similar situation, I hope they read your post and know they have options.<br /><br />They just need to be take charge of their life and take the first steps of eliminating that person from their life i.e., calling the cops, following through with the report and restraining order.
