Patric is abusive. This is not about whether you see it that way, or you have different opinion, or not. He is abusive, it is a FACT . Like Quinn Selling drugs. Lily is a Stripdancer, etc, etc.
My father's brother died last year because of cancer, whether he was a good man or not, he went to heaven or hell, these are up to personal opinion, or belives, faith , whatever, But the FACT is He is Dead.
Patric is abusive person, there is nothing else to say it. Even if you dont see that way for whatever twisted reason, it wont change the FACT that He is an Abuser.
