Slapped in the face and yelled at? 5th grade, so....10 or 11, not that it really matters. I remember it well, not because I'm scarred by it, but it was the last time my dad ever got REALLY mad at me and it was the last time I ever pushed his limits.
I was called rude things as young as 8 and 9.
But like anitram says, everyone's family dynamics are different, so what hurts or doesn't hurt me is not going to be the same for someone else.
Because this is true, we also need to consider that the girl in question has probably seen and heard quite a bit herself and this may not even be traumatizing to her. I honestly feel Kim set him up; knowing he had a temper, in order to make him look bad. (I have a relative who has done shit like this to me) She could even have sat there going 'don't pick it up let him have his rant.'
I also fear the little girl is not only being turned against her father and made to fear him by her mother, but even feeling she's letting her mother down by being nice to her father. (personal experiences make me think this) It's really sad how she's in the middle. I bet she loves them both.
the whole situation isn't really any of our business.
This is so true. Thousands, maybe millions of families are going through this shit every day but not being famous they don't get it all aired in public.
I wonder if the little girl may even MORE humiliated by all the public attention this is getting than what he said?
I feel sorry for Alec and Ireland. I don't feel sorry for Kim because I believe she's the instigator. It pisses me off so bad to have someone set you up and then play all calm while you blow up and then they point at you and get you in trouble, but you know what they're doing all along but nobody else notices it or understands it like you.
But again, it's not our business, and not our business to pass judgement when we don't know the whole story.
