the man replied and said that when he was growing up that he usually sees his own father biting up his mother every day
Did I just read "biting'" or the OP made a mistake?. Why do we even have to have a conversation like this because it's disgusting?.
Unarguably, parents should never have a fight in the presence of their children, let alone, engage in physical abuse. The society today is filled with too many people, who grew to be comfortable with assaulting others because that's what makes them better. So many children coming from broken homes because they just happen to have parents who still think that life is all about themselves. Unfortunately, the society is on the receiving end of all these too many irresponsibility.
