ask many wives: husbands get like this because they are selfish asses who think things should go their way and they are always right
I worked in a large hospital's ER for 20 years so I'm at least somewhat familiar with the subject of domestic violence.I've seen more women who were savagely beaten by a husband/boyfriend than I care to recall.I've even seen a few women who were *murdered* by same.I see you're former military as well as a lawyer.Picture yourself as having been assigned to defend a Marine accused of murdering his wife on base.He's done at least one tour of Iraq/Afghanistan,he's been wounded at least once,and there's evidence that he hasn't been the same,mentally and/or physically,since.Perhaps he even sustained a traumatic brain injury while in combat.What do you do?
I'm not saying that *all* these points apply to this Marine but we know that at least *one* of them does.
