    🇺🇸 ~ Way too many on the right wing political side believe government and everybody else is after them. So I am glad he is speaking out. When people have certain ideologies it’s easier to believe everybody’s after them then to understand maybe they are the ones who are not in the right place.b

Will he ever grow-up emotionally? He forever uses women as a shield. Learn how to be a good man. At least the man part, please. If he cannot get that part right his attempt at being a father will forever fail. The only reason the youngest are still alive is because of RF,Shari and a couple of complete strangers. He played no part in saving them at all from further abuse. For his part? It was Shari, he directly abused the most. Should she forgive him? I don't know? His using her name because his is mud in court? As if he appears with her seal of approval? Makes me very uncomfortable. Without publicly acknowledging how he tormented his daughter whose intentions were always good? Yes, I am very uncomfortable with his failure to admit all of the truth. Not just the parts that make him appear....like Shari because there are none. In time? There is a sliver of hope. Still waiting for it. For his sake. The children, hopefully, have found good people to help them discover what real love is.

Ruby AND Kevin failed their children, equally. The police and DCFS checked on the children more than their own father and I don’t believe his excuses as to why he stayed away. They will forever be traumatized by that decision.
