maybe she didn't make a sandwich

I feel the need to post this again here... What if she's the abusive one and he was defending himself? I bet if the mum threw the PC at the dad you'd all assume she had a good reason. People seem to think that women can't be the abuser when it comes to domestic violence. Also if he was able to ask his dad to fix it that would suggest to me this is more of a one off than chronic spousal abuse. I would think OP would be scared of his dad if it was a regular occurrence.

I understand that both men and women in relationships can be abusive. However, I find it hard to believe that that would be the case in this situation. As far as we know, the only thing thrown was a computer. The father threw that, so it's safe to say (for any reason) he doesn't feel bad about hurting his wife. We don't KNOW if the wife threw anything or threw punches, so it's perfectly ok to assume that the dad is the abusive one. If the OP wanted people to know her father was seemingly innocent in comparison to her mother, she would have made it obvious. She could've just added "In self defense, my dad threw my computer at my mom..." etc. And even if it is just a one-time occurrence, I would think that should just make the OP even more concerned for the safety of his/her family.

For once the OP has actually responded to the comments here! She has basically exaggerated the whole thing.. What a shock! Clearly if it happened how the original FML implies she would be a total dick for being more concerned about her PC than her mum!

I was thinking the same exact thing when I saw her response... Ugh, well, I guess most things on this site are obviously over-exaggerated, but when the OP comments and proves it, Grr!!! >.
