seems like he trusts you and needs to talk.
I'm less worried about him and more concerned about his daughter.
Someone should be reporting her to Child Protective Services unless the father is making sure the child is protected from the abuse the mom is hurling at her.
If you're not comfortable with the situation you might want to distance yourself.
I often wonder why some people reproduce That poor little girl.
I don't know THAT many crazy people. Just a few people who have done a LOT of things which are either nutty or annoying to me. So this is about one of that same batch of people whose (extended) family I've complained about.
I have a friend I met when he was still single. After about 6 years, he got married. I thought everything was hunky-dory, but within the last few years, he tells me:
- that his wife is physically abusive to their daughter (1 to 2 years old) to get her to be quiet, but that they are in therapy (funny, because he was never in therapy before getting married). So, why did his wife do this? In therapy, it was learned that it was done to his wife when she was a child. I didn't like his little girl, who screamed uncontrollably when she had to go to the bathroom or had to go to sleep, shouting "I want Daddy to take me" repeatedly. Now, after hearing what his wife did to her, I can see why this child screams. I think this child will be scarred because of this.
- that his wife and her sister sit there in his house and try on different clothes or swimwear, with the door flung open for anyone to walk by, with no problem whatsoever about having their jugs bouncing around and visible.
My friend comes from a family that is kind of repressed. On the other hand, his wife comes from a family that is full of boundary problems that are all over the map, and present in all of her siblings.
Question: Why is my friend telling me this crazy stuff? Not only that, he speaks about it in a nonchalant way, like he's desensitized to it. Any ideas?
He is probably running it past you to get your reaction and feedback. Below, you say he "married late(r)", and doesn't want to dismantle his comfortable situation.
His nonchalance may be a disguise.
He may be totally shocked and repulsed by what is going on; and yet doesn't have the guts to stand up and be a man, by protecting the child.
IMHO, if I were you, I would contact CPS, and I would also ask him when he is going to GROW A PAIR and stand up to the shrew he married.
Appearances be damned.
The child needs protection - he may be lying about the therapist knowing about it - he has to be, or CPS would already be involved. That's truly disgusting to me, that a grown man would be so whipped by his wife that he would allow her abuse a child!

um, he mistakenly thinks he can talk to you about these things, and obviously, he was wrong. saying you don't like a young child kinda shows where you are at. i find THAT kind of weird. do you only befriend those with no issues? if so, can you please show me where those people live? is that like Xanadu?

Again, I can't provide a YouTube. Most NORMAL people don't like kids with SHRILL NONSTOP screams. Finding out why the kid screamed caused to me to understand the child, and hate his abusive wife. Next...
