Talk:The Colier Family/@comment-28910821-20160703045040

Are the divorced yet? I've never seen such a 'man.'  I can't imagine why the mother is allowing him to treat her own daughter with such emotional abuse and cruelty. His treatment of his boys is disgusting, and crosses the line into being inappropriate. Perhaps that is the underlying problem here. There is something going on with this man, and my gut tells me it is something very wrong. No man carries on that way with their sons--he is refusing to potty train them normally, hello. He despises both his wife and his adopted daughter. This scenario is very disturbing. I hope Jo's keen eye picked up on the inappropriate attention the father is paying to those boys. Adding a video camera into the mix? A red flag that something is very wrong. The daughter meanwhile is already heartbroken by the father's treatment of her, the emotional abuse. And she is a normal teenager, good grief, he made her out to be a wayward teen, when she is more than normal, in fact, she is not even living an active social life for her age, in that joyless house. I hope she can get out of there and get to college as soon as possible. The mother needs to decide if financially she can make it alone, because the only reason to stay is because of money. Sacrificing your daughter's well-being for a roof over your heads, not reason to stay if you aren't even in the same bed at night. And are being recorded so you can be picked apart, berated, and violated. Is he compiling material for the divorce when he records you? Ask yourself why any man would be recording their own family, and get that camera away from those young boys.
