Living with a person like this for so long, like I did, I can spot it a mile away, my Dad has done some crazy stuff of which I will note a few; we had a German shepard that barked constantly, which infuriated my Dad to no end, so to 'teach it a lesson' my Dad put him in a metal garbage can, put the lid on it and beat the metal can for an hour with a baseball bat to 'show the dog' how annoying unwanted noise can be, I was 4 years old at the time; he counted the miles on my Mom's car and if she went further than what he said she could drive in a certain day he took her car keys for however long he felt should be her punishment; after years of this sort of behavior my mom divorced him when all of us kids were older; my Dad remarried shortly thereafter and his new wife found out he was having an affair while they were newlyweds so she called the woman's husband to 'tattle' and tell this husband to keep an eye on his wife and make this affair stop. My Dad's mistress called him and told him what his new wife had done and my Dad FURIOUS that she had called the mistress's husband
packed up ALL of his wife's belongings and
Fed-ex'd over night to her mother's house and handed her a plane ticket back to her hometown and told her to get out of his house. It took the new wife 2 weeks of BEGGING his forgiveness to be let back in his house/to resume being married; when my Mother and I heard the Mel Gibson rants last summer we sort of laughed and thought, what every guy doesn't go berserk like that
over something as little as Mel's girlfriend with a newborn baby was ASLEEP rather than awake to service him thus those vicious rants.
Those endless verbal tirades are a classic and tell tale sign of Narcissistic
personality disorder and I would bet every cent I had that JS came back to the mansion late Tuesday night after being told that MS was just being kept on life support to be an organ donor
and he went berserk and the loud music/noise was him going back and forth btwn yelling, crying, begging, and SCREAMING for RN to tell him what she did to Maxie (of which there was no right answer
and the tirade and tying her up was him acting out his rage), and I agree with a PP that he probably tied her to a chair for this little tirade to command her full attention, naked no less for the ultimate humiliation. I think he might have strangled her, staged the hanging or just threw her off the balcony after she was all tied up and he made the noose.
Again, time will tell and I would like all the facts to come out for RN and for
her family.
As for my Dad, he has never hurt me or my sisters, and I do love him and I accept him and understand why he is this way. His mother was an alcoholic who abandon him and his brother with their father and he grew up with no Mom and it just really messed him up. He is a good father, and he does the best he can as he doesn't know why he is this way (I would bet he doesn't
even know he is what he is).
Off my soap box!
