Vickie's response.

As someone who’s dad took off when I was a teen, leaving my mom and brother and I and cutting off contact for 7 years (because he was having an affair), this response gives me slight PTSD to responses from my own dad.

Whenever he was faced with stories of abuse he commuted prior to him leaving, he lashed out and blamed anyone but himself. Or brought up instances when he helped in some unrelated situation (which is called “being a parent”) as if that deflected the bad things he’d done.

There are always 2 sides to ever story, but this is not the response of a good parent. Unless I’m mistaken, the fact she doesn’t outright deny the fact that her husband did what he’s accused of is telling.
