His former partners described him as very nice though, as far as I know. I'd see that more as reaction to Amber Heard. My mom slammed a lot of things while my father had an affair and was verbally abusive against us. I wouldn't call that her fault.
He may not have been a raging alcoholic when he was with other partners at the time. No one really knows what happened in that relationship but I do know the old "she/he made me do it" doesn't fly.
He's been an alco and a heroin junkie for some time.
Just did a better job of hiding it maybe.
Ah huh
Yeah that's true. I'm choosing to believe him over her because of how she lied court. At the end of the day, I don't really know what's going on between them.
Yeah there's no doubt she was not an innocent party. What went on was obviously toxic.
"choosing to believe him" and "blaming her for his actions" are different things
without video/audio evidence I assume everything she says about him are lies. Slamming cabinets is barely anything compared with taking a shit in the bed and throwing things at him. He sure is not nice. But would you be nice to your partner if they're physically abusive?
Yeah. My mum had a super short temper during those years. But no I wouldn't call her reaction to my father's abuse abusive. Victims shouldn't have to stick to their best behaviour at all times to be called a victim.
yeah, nah.
