I was going to go with a The Shining reference.

Bates Motel flashed in my mind after reading that. Horrifying news, however.

 

[ffdgh]

Heavy stuff.
Kid did what he had to do.

 

[FortuneFaded]

I hope for the kid's sake that the father doesn't die. He shouldn't deserve to live with that kind of guilt, which would occur no matter how justified his actions were.

Was going to post a photo, but I guess that would be a spoiler.

If the mother hid in a room, and the father is capable of kicking a door in and stabbing her, there is probably some earlier history. Even if there's no reported abuse.

Poor kid.

 

[Cindres]

I had the story backwards from the title, i thought the kid stabbed the mother as she was a "husband-stabbing wife". Either way, that's pretty messed up.

 

[Frodo]

Can't feel sorry for the guy, though.

If your actions force your own kid to stab you... well... But like it has been said already, hope he doesn't die so the kid doesn't have to live with that burden. Let him think about his actions in jail.

Agreed. Poor kid

 

[Maedre]

Damn, i hope the kid will work it out.

 

[King Tubby]

That kid is the real man of the house. I hope everything works out for him and his mother.

Yup. Somebody keep an eye on that kid.

 

[Dennis]

Tragic situation but good on the kid for defending his mother.

 

[kmax]

Thank God the kid was there to save his mother from that lunatic.

 

[Busty]

Charlize Theron's mother shot her abusive, alcoholic father right in front of her when she was 15yo.

Really.

 

[Monty Mole]

Terrible story.

Can't help but this if this happened here in the UK, the poor kid would now be sent to a young offenders institute!

I really hope he's OK after such a traumatic experience.

Hell's kitchen, life imitating art?

Shitty, though, hope the best for them.
