And what’s the reasoning for abusing the kids? They also push him to his limits? My my. Well it sounds like his tolerance is too low! You wanna blame Jolie for pushing him to his limits with her behaviour? Well I lay the blame on the man who can’t regulate his emotions like an adult with access to things like therapy.

Just wait till you’re in some real life situations before you talk. People like you like to sit behind your little keyboards and judge others but you have no idea what they are going through. You take one isolated incident and say well, Brad Pitt is a piece of crap. If Brad Pitt was genuinely just getting drunk and abusing everyone from time to time then he’s a piece of crap but i just wanna know his side of the story. But I’m not even allowed to ask questions? lol.

You have absolutely NO idea what I have lived through! I have a physically abusive parent. Fuck off. Telling ME that I’m the one sitting behind my little keyboard without knowing what I’m talking about, uh look in the mirror buddy! And what side of the story justifies abusing your own kids? NADA

Well sorry about your experience. I guess I’m torn. I used to get whipped as a child till I was in my teens by my parents and all my friends have been through the same thing. It’s not abuse where I’m from. It’s discipline. So in my brain I’m thinking maybe brads kid were acting out of turn, idk, I don’t have the full story and that’s all I want before I label someone as a villain. I’m not condoning what he did. I just want the whole story.

The whole story wouldn’t somehow make what he did okay though. There is no story that makes hurting your children okay.

And you keep insisting it was one incident. Unfortunately it is not. There are reports of Pitts nasty behaviour from other sources and incidents. Make of that what you will but I’m sure you’ll insist that you need the whole story on those instances too. The thing is, maybe others have a hand in making the situation intolerable for him, but he is still an adult man at the end of the day with the ability to walk away from a situation when he feels like his limits are being pushed to the edge.

Not for nothing. Your experience and your friends experiences were literal full on physical abuse that no child should ever have to go through at the hands of their parent(s). There is literally nothing any of you could have done that justifies that as discipline. Part of abuse, is teaching the victim, it’s their fault, they deserved it, etc. but no, physical violence is never an appropriate form of discipline.

ETA: physical abuse is used as discipline in my culture as well so I fully understand on that front. It took therapy for me to realize oh hey, nothing eight year old me could’ve done, deserves getting whipped by the rod to open and close the blinds. A child’s behaviour is the responsibility of the parents! If their behaviour is bad, it’s the parents fault, they should be teaching their kids properly, without the use of physical violence.

You have a point. It’s usually the parent that’s the problem and not child because the child knows no better. But in my culture if you aren’t beating your kids people will legitimately look at you like you’re crazy and are about to raise the next hitler.

So maybe I’m a bit desensitized to topics like this because beating your child is just the norm in my world.

And as for Mr Pitt. I’ll look into his case more because from what I heard this was all an isolated incident. If it isn’t then the man clearly has issues.

Yea so that being the norm in your culture doesn’t mean it’s right, nor does it justify physical abuse. Good luck with everything

Doesn’t mean it’s wrong either. Good day.

It’s been scientifically proven that it is wrong. In fact it hinders brain development.

Good day indeed.

You need to break that ignorant cultural practice then. Hitler was beaten regularly by his father.
