But then he started getting mad at the baby for waking him up. I knew he was crazy enough to hurt my baby..so I applied for an apartment and got it within a month…while he was at work, I loaded my stuff and baby into my car and left… mothers should look at their baby and be strong enough to leave.

@Beautiful_Hope Год назад

I was in a relationship with a narcissist. Fear is a major factor in this type of case. She was terrified for herself & for her son. Look at all the cases where a person was murdered or injured severely because of an abusive partner. I was terrified of my ex-husband. I still don’t want him knowing where I live & we’ve been apart for 13 years. I have a lot of trauma from my relationship. To someone that’s never experienced it, it’s difficult to explain. But they love bomb you with the “I’m sorry”’s & gifts & the “it’ll never happen again”’s… they’re so charming that you believe them… sometimes, for a while, it’s better. But then they go right back to how they were before. It gets worse every time. Living in fear is crippling.

@lisacarr13 3 года назад

I think the fact that Eric to this day is made to believe that he just “forgot” abusing his little brother is sick. I felt so horrible listening to him defend himself saying “he was 20lb I was only 40, the crib was this big I was only this big” he doesn’t remember because he didn’t do it. Plain and simple. The mental torture Eric went though, including losing his little brother is so sad ...

@tickledtoffee 3 года назад

It’s so horrible. The thought of losing my little brother (we’re both adults now, but my feelings haven’t changed at all) terrifies me. What Eric has been through sounds like torture. He must be a very strong person to be such a brave advocate for his little brother, especially given the abuse Eric himself suffered. D telling people that Eric hurt Jacob is absolutely horrible, but implanting that possibility in Eric’s own mind is beyond that. It’s cruel, self-serving, sadistic, cowardly and the closest thing to evil I’ve ever heard. Eric is a hero who’s still fighting for Jacob. He’s the kind of big brother all children deserve. I’ve signed.

@cayleighwolfbane1736 3 года назад

The ability to warp a child's mind is sickening. I went through a similar incident. I was taken away from my family and the only way I could see them again was to agree to their story. Eventually you believe it, your a child being told by adults to stop lying. Being rewarded when you give in to their "truths" eventually you repeat it because whose going to believe you didn't do it?

Situations like this make me feel like there should be a required class in High Schools about relationships and how to spot abusive or toxic relationships. Most women (and some men as well) get caught in this "No one else will love me" and/or "Anything's better than being alone" mentality because they simply don't know any better. Abusers take advantage of that mentality and mold it into a manipulation tactic designed to control the victims. Some of this would be avoided if we just taught kids instead of just making them learn everything themselves. Do we really need four years of math that 95% of us are never going to use or do we need a class that could potentially save lives?

@007private 3 года назад

@zoafoxx1749 3 года назад

They teach all about this in Health and Sexual Education. Red flags, abusive and controlling behaviour, what to do if it happens. Doesn't matter though because middle school and high school kids almost never take it seriously, its always a "why don't u just leave?" Or "That would never happen to me" , instead of actually paying attention and realizing how complicated these situations are. As well as most kids being naive, a lot of people grow up in toxic homes and may not even recognize or "agree" with the listed behaviours being called abusive.

@@zoafoxx1749 part of it is parents in some areas are allowed to opt their child out of health class. Before my son passed of his health issues (born with them), in his 7th, 8th and beginning of his freshman year (he died midway through freshman year) I was always presented a "permission slip" regarding health class. My kiddo passed in 2017, so figure 2014, 2015 in VT that I know for sure they require parental permission for kids to take health. And I'm sure they probably required permission slips before that. When I lived in TX, the area I lived required them back in 2010 and likely before that as well. Two vastly different states but with the same parental permission needed.

@jessicamazariegos749 2 года назад

I had the same initial response. I think the problem though is that to her knowledge, Erik wasn’t being directly abused. He was threatened into silence and didn’t tell her and there were no marks to be seen. She was so manipulated and gaslighted herself. Though I honestly can’t fully grasp being so blind to it, unfortunately it happens all the time. She likely came from an abusive home and went straight into another. Left that one into a worse.

It’s going to be hard not to fault all of the adults for this one Kendal… Eric bless your heart. I’m so incredibly sorry the adults in your life failed you and your little brother. The psychological warfare it must have been to have thought you were responsible. You were not. I hope you are able to find peace in your life. Every single adult in this scenario failed. If you’re a parent that doesn’t trust your significant other around your children, what are you doing? I’m not even surprised social services failed, they fail in damn near every single case. But to marry the person who murdered your son is the big slap in the face. I’m sorry, there’s no excuse. And then subject your only living child back into the abuse? That’s not acceptable. I’m sorry but I am so sick of children being abused and forced to grow up young and deal with trauma, 9 times out of 10, for their abusers to say ahhh you had a good childhood. It’s so psychologically damaging. If you’re going to have children, be a fucking superhero. Because that’s what the damn requirements are.

you can be, not sure what the specifics are in the states but in Australia, you can be charged and convicted with manslaughter by criminal negligence, which basically means that where there is a established relationship by law, it requires a duty and standard of care for the person, e.g. parent and child relationship. There was a case that the mother was convicted of this offence because her child was being abused and she did nothing when by law she had a duty, and sadly it resulted in the child's death at the abusers hands.

It’s tricky when someone has not been found guilty in a court of law to publicly use their name in a case like this because that’s considered defamation of character by libel or slander. Despite what it’s clear “D” is guilty of, to state his name would be putting anyone speaking about the case at risk for legal issues.

I'm trying to be considerate of Eric's feelings. I hope that he receives the therapy and treatment he needs to heal. I want to know what happened in his mother's life that had her attracted to such neglectful and abusive men. Her first husband was neglectful, D was sexually abusive towards her children, killed her son, and yet she went back to him and married him. I'm sorry, I just feel like the mother also let her children down PLUS she left after he started going after her niece. Seems more like a concern about him cheating on her than concern for the child. Something is not clicking with the mother here. And D should be under the jail. He is a monster.

I have to say, to adults in this situation are inexcusable. My husband and his younger brother were abused at the hands of their father for their entire childhood. My husband often wonders how they survived. The fact that his mother stayed and never did a thing to protect those children from that monster is inexcusable. Just like my husband's mother, she had parents who would have helped her. It's pure selfishness for a mother to act...rather, fail to act...for the sake of her babies. When my husband was in his early thirties, he walked away from the abusive relationships from both of his parents and never looked back. To this day, his mother excuses her actions and takes no responsibility for the hell those kids lived through. My husband has experienced tremendous healing in the 20+ years w/o those parents in his life. Our son, now a teenager, has never met his grandparents on his dad's side and is better for it! He's too precious to us to allow that type of corruption in his life. She's living her punishment and now that the father is dead and buried, says she was a victim and had no idea the hate she should've had for him. Yaahhh, it's a little late!

My sister and I lived with my grandmother while my mother worked night shifts at the hospital when I was around 9 and my uncle moved in with us at the time. He used to corner my sister and I in the kitchen and scream at us for no reason at all and we were so petrified that we wouldn't leave our room unless he was asleep. It got so bad that one night we began throwing up for hours on end because of the anxiety. I told my mother about it in passing one day and she got up and confronted him about it, before calling my father who told him that if he ever touched us, he was a dead man. We left my grandmother's house that same day and never saw him again until about 11 years later. I found out from my mom that my uncle had raped her sister when they were kids and I always thank God that I had the sense to say something when I did

Eric, I am so sorry for all the pain you've been through. All adults in your story failed you and your brother. Brenda have learn the hard way. I pray justice for Jacob. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

i’m absolutely sickened by how many signs this mom ignored, and chose to send her son away instead of this monster. and the fact that she knew he was abusing her son, but only chose to leave once he moved on to her niece. he’s vile, but she’s not much better.

I have zero sympathy for that “mother”. I don’t care if she was being beaten, she knew damn well that monster killed her baby boy and was physically and sexually abusing her son and still chose him over Eric! Still married that POS. Absolutely disgusting. God my heart goes out to Eric. So much trauma he endured. I truly hope he’s healing.

@angelofdusk13 2 года назад

I think we can all agree that very sadly, if Brenda had left D earlier, Jacob would've been safe. However, I wish people were a little more compassionate for Brenda. She was young--17 when she married, so 24 when Jacob was born? A little more? My dad is a clinically diagnosed narcissist, and growing up with him was a constant mindfuck. The gaslighting, the lying, the emotional and verbal abuse--your reality is completely warped. Abusers will do anything to make you stay--and even when she left, he still stalked her. My own mother stayed with my abusive father because she was afraid she couldn't support us. I wish CPS had stepped in when they had the chance or Brenda had left, but ultimately, D is the abuser and murderer here.

@michdevs4363 3 года назад

@biss273 3 года назад

It's so strange that noone talks about the biological father. He most probably had some suspicions about D. after Jacob passed away. He still let Eric live with D. He was literally never there for Jacob and Eric and the mother of his children. I just cant stand these kind of fathers. Devorcing their wives doesn't mean they are not a father anymore.

@aqua_finessa6030 3 года назад

Exactly, the mom was struggling to care for them on her owns It didn't seem like she had any outside support from family or the children's father. I too question why the father or family didn't get involved.

@katelynanneg 3 года назад

I agree and made a similar comment! Men abandoning their children and families is sadly not that uncommon yet it's always women who get shit for not protecting or caring for their kids enough, or "letting them" be abused by a new bf, etc. We need to hold men accountable the same way we hold women accountable.

First of all, Eric, you are so incredibly well-spoken and eloquent. Especially for someone who has gone through everything you have, to be able to speak about your experiences in the way you did is amazing. You did not even sound like you were coming from anger, just an understanding maybe? I’m not sure but it really struck me that you were so calm. I can’t imagine your pain and trauma. Also, It makes me SO angry learning that the mother did not protect her children. My heart goes out to both of those boys.
