[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where was his family in getting him help/ intervening?  There are stories of his wife’s stepfather intervening, but he had a mother and siblings with resources. Why didn’t they step in to help?[/quote]

Typically this is not effective. The alcoholic has to want to get help in order for rehab to work.[/quote]

And even when addicts stop drinking, the statistics on them no longer engaging in abusive behavior (emotional and even physical) are pretty bad. Only about 8% of abusers truly change.[/quote]

Which is why the death penalty really is appropriate here. Except too many men are afraid they’d get caught up in the law from “innocently” beating their wives after she “provoked” him. [/quote]

Given how much abuse is non-physical, that's a really big jump. Maybe if you limit it to the outside of the power and control wheel (here: https://www.thehotline.org/identify-abuse/power-and-control/), but the behaviors on the inside are actually just as damaging not just mentally/emotionally but also physically. For example did you know there's a direct correlation shown over multiple studies between abuse and autoimmune disorders in women?[/quote]
