(32,324 posts)Or enraged male relative, get back to me.
Anyone who has experienced life with an person who is prone to violent rages knows what I mean.
You apparently don't. You are a guy, and you don't know what it is like to ever be hassled by someone who is enraged and could break your neck like it was a piece of kindling.
I recently spent some serious time helping a friend get a male relative out of her dwelling. The matter took about two years. (Police were no help, and California has laws that make a person a "tenant" if they stay somewhere a certain length of time, so once a person achieves tenancy, even if they' re not paying a thing toward even their own grocery bill, they have protected status.)
I found it of interest that the judge who finally oversaw my friend's court plea to have her son removed - he addressed the court room and explained that anyone living with someone they consider dangerous to their health and safety should consider getting a court order, called a restraining order. But he also counseled the women in the court room that if they do make the decision to get that restraining order, then they have to also be aware of the fact that doing so will possibly trigger more rage and conflict coming from whomever they are having problems with.
I helped edit a scholarly book on date rape, and that point was made repeatedly by the author of the book.
So your comment that the mother of children should not mind the idea that a person she has repeatedly experienced as a confused, troubled and enraged soul now was about to have custody of the children - well, that is rather troubling thing for an abused woman to experience.
As far as I am concerned, if every man who ever was enraged while with a woman, if those men got shot and killed by some type of inter-galactic avenger, I would not cry a single tear over the tens of thsouands of three legged bastards who would lose their lives. In fact, I would celebrate.
