I was in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship. I married this man at 19, and I got pregnant within the first year. He beat me daily…it got to the point he wanted to “abort” our daughter with a crowbar..I locked myself in the bathroom. I went back and he was there when I gave birth. But then he started getting mad at the baby for waking him up. I knew he was crazy enough to hurt my baby..so I applied for an apartment and got it within a month…while he was at work, I loaded my stuff and baby into my car and left… mothers should look at their baby and be strong enough to leave.

@Beautiful_Hope 10 місяців тому
I was in a relationship with a narcissist. Fear is a major factor in this type of case. She was terrified for herself & for her son. Look at all the cases where a person was murdered or injured severely because of an abusive partner. I was terrified of my ex-husband. I still don’t want him knowing where I live & we’ve been apart for 13 years. I have a lot of trauma from my relationship. To someone that’s never experienced it, it’s difficult to explain. But they love bomb you with the “I’m sorry”’s & gifts & the “it’ll never happen again”’s… they’re so charming that you believe them… sometimes, for a while, it’s better. But then they go right back to how they were before. It gets worse every time. Living in fear is crippling.

The second she finds out he's persueing her niece she finally leaves 🤷 she sounds like she may just be an insecure woman.
@jessicamazariegos749 Рік тому
I had the same initial response. I think the problem though is that to her knowledge, Erik wasn’t being directly abused. He was threatened into silence and didn’t tell her and there were no marks to be seen. She was so manipulated and gaslighted herself. Though I honestly can’t fully grasp being so blind to it, unfortunately it happens all the time. She likely came from an abusive home and went straight into another. Left that one into a worse.

It’s tricky when someone has not been found guilty in a court of law to publicly use their name in a case like this because that’s considered defamation of character by libel or slander.

Your six-year-old son who prayed for a baby brother? Always focus on your kids. Never rush into any relationship that offers financial stability, because what happens when that relationship fails too?

It’s going to be hard not to fault all of the adults for this one Kendal… Eric bless your heart. I’m so incredibly sorry the adults in your life failed you and your little brother. The psychological warfare it must have been to have thought you were responsible. You were not. I hope you are able to find peace in your life. Every single adult in this scenario failed. If you’re a parent that doesn’t trust your significant other around your children, what are you doing? I’m not even surprised social services failed, they fail in damn near every single case. But to marry the person who murdered your son is the big slap in the face. I’m sorry, there’s no excuse. And then subject your only living child back into the abuse? That’s not acceptable. I’m sorry but I am so sick of children being abused and forced to grow up young and deal with trauma, 9 times out of 10, for their abusers to say ahhh you had a good childhood. It’s so psychologically damaging. If you’re going to have children, be a fucking superhero. Because that’s what the damn requirements are.

D telling people that Eric hurt Jacob is absolutely horrible, but implanting that possibility in Eric’s own mind is beyond that.

Situations like this make me feel like there should be a required class in High Schools about relationships and how to spot abusive or toxic relationships. Most women (and some men as well) get caught in this "No one else will love me" and/or "Anything's better than being alone" mentality because they simply don't know any better. Abusers take advantage of that mentality and mold it into a manipulation tactic designed to control the victims. Some of this would be avoided if we just taught kids instead of just making them learn everything themselves. Do we really need four years of math that 95% of us are never going to use or do we need a class that could potentially save lives?

They teach all about this in Health and Sexual Education. Red flags, abusive and controlling behaviour, what to do if it happens. Doesn't matter though because middle school and high school kids almost never take it seriously, its always a "why don't u just leave?" Or "That would never happen to me" , instead of actually paying attention and realizing how complicated these situations are. As well as most kids being naive, a lot of people grow up in toxic homes and may not even recognize or "agree" with the listed behaviours being called abusive.

@@zoafoxx1749 part of it is parents in some areas are allowed to opt their child out of health class. Before my son passed of his health issues (born with them), in his 7th, 8th and beginning of his freshman year (he died midway through freshman year) I was always presented a "permission slip" regarding health class. My kiddo passed in 2017, so figure 2014, 2015 in VT that I know for sure they require parental permission for kids to take health. And I'm sure they probably required permission slips before that. When I lived in TX, the area I lived required them back in 2010 and likely before that as well. Two vastly different states but with the same parental permission needed.

On abusive relationships: they are highly addictive, especially when your self-esteem is shattered. Walking on eggshells is very common, too. But if you support child abuse as an adult by inaction you should still be held accountable, with all respect and understanding. Dear Eric, I am sorry what you and little Jacob have been through. I just signed the petition and I hope it helps. Thank you for defending your brother and your family. ❤❤❤

you can be, not sure what the specifics are in the states but in Australia, you can be charged and convicted with manslaughter by criminal negligence, which basically means that where there is a established relationship by law, it requires a duty and standard of care for the person, e.g. parent and child relationship. There was a case that the mother was convicted of this offence because her child was being abused and she did nothing when by law she had a duty, and sadly it resulted in the child's death at the abusers hands.

Her first husband was neglectful, D was sexually abusive towards her children, killed her son, and yet she went back to him and married him. I'm sorry, I just feel like the mother also let her children down PLUS she left after he started going after her niece. Seems more like a concern about him cheating on her than concern for the child. Something is not clicking with the mother here. And D should be under the jail. He is a monster.

I say f*** you, my mother had to deal with that, losing her son and not being able to do a damn thing about it. I was also in an abusive relationship too, while not as extreme, but it is definitely not as easy as everyone thinks. They manipulate you in thinking that they are not at fault, they did nothing wrong and find some f***ing way to blame someone else, but then make you believe that you are better off to stay with that person. I never got justice on either my childhood abuser or even my abuser later on in life. Some people aren't as blessed enough that they never see this happening to them or someone they love.. before you jump to any conclusions on his mother, maybe you should do some research on domestic violence or go through it yourself to understand.

I have to say, to adults in this situation are inexcusable. My husband and his younger brother were abused at the hands of their father for their entire childhood. My husband often wonders how they survived. The fact that his mother stayed and never did a thing to protect those children from that monster is inexcusable. Just like my husband's mother, she had parents who would have helped her. It's pure selfishness for a mother to act...rather, fail to act...for the sake of her babies. When my husband was in his early thirties, he walked away from the abusive relationships from both of his parents and never looked back. To this day, his mother excuses her actions and takes no responsibility for the hell those kids lived through. My husband has experienced tremendous healing in the 20+ years w/o those parents in his life. Our son, now a teenager, has never met his grandparents on his dad's side and is better for it! He's too precious to us to allow that type of corruption in his life. She's living her punishment and now that the father is dead and buried, says she was a victim and had no idea the hate she should've had for him. Yaahhh, it's a little late!

The gaslighting, the lying, the emotional and verbal abuse--your reality is completely warped. Abusers will do anything to make you stay--and even when she left, he still stalked her.

This story is so disturbing. I feel so bad for Eric and I'm sorry your mother neglected to find the true answers about your little brother at the time and that she put you through all that you endured. What amazes me is that she had to know what you were going through but it took your cousin being groomed to actually do anything about it. In my opinion, if a woman wants to put up with abuse, it's one thing, but abusing my children? No. These men have to sleep sometime. I'm so sorry your brother went through that and that your mom went back with that pos afterward. Its unbelieveable that he wasn't prosecuted.

My God, Eric is one of the kindest people. The fact that he is willing to consider that any of the things that Jacob was experiencing are possibly attributable to Eric is amazing and incredibly open minded and kind hearted of him. But in all of our hearts I think we absolutely all know that it was "D" who committed all of the monstrous abuse. What a sick man to try and blame a little boy for what he did. Rest in peace little angel, Jacob. No one can hurt you anymore.

My sister and I lived with my grandmother while my mother worked night shifts at the hospital when I was around 9 and my uncle moved in with us at the time. He used to corner my sister and I in the kitchen and scream at us for no reason at all and we were so petrified that we wouldn't leave our room unless he was asleep. It got so bad that one night we began throwing up for hours on end because of the anxiety. I told my mother about it in passing one day and she got up and confronted him about it, before calling my father who told him that if he ever touched us, he was a dead man. We left my grandmother's house that same day and never saw him again until about 11 years later. I found out from my mom that my uncle had raped her sister when they were kids and I always thank God that I had the sense to say something when I did

ERIC WAS A BADASS TO USE THAT BAT AND BREAK HIS WINDOW AND TO THROW ROCKS AS A DISTRACTION AND GET PSYCHO AWAY FROM HIS MOM. HE SAVED HIS MAMAS LIFE. Chills went through my body, goosebumps popped up, and tears just started streaming down my face. What a strong, strong baby boy. What a big hero, in such a small body(at the time at least haha). It's so heartbreaking for him to go into the fight or flight, he knew what he HAD to do, he didn't know exactly what that animal was doing to his mother, he didn't know if he was gonna get hurt by Dee, he didn't know if he was gonna end up like his brother, but he didn't care, he only cared about his mom, and that is beyond heart breaking.

Idc what anyone says, going back to your abuser (especially under these circumstances) is just straight up weakness and stupidity.

I am so sorry that Eric went through such trauma in his childhood. His mother and father failed him and his brother. The mother was needy and the father absent, which made their children vulnerable to predators. I hope Eric is in therapy. This was not the will of God concerning these children. Their parents had free will and did not make the right decisions concerning them.

If I had any kind of supsicion that someone is hurting my baby, I would immediately remove the person from my life, get that person away from my baby. I can´t image what kind of a monster is able to hurt a little baby in a way, that it changes his personality. Not only the US justice system failed Eric and Jacob, but also the adults. I am sorry, but the mom is in a fault over the death of her son. Not to mention the grandma! I mean WTF! I got so angy over this case...
