During the abuse I agree 100%, but sometimes I think about things like this (And it does hurt me unfortunately but my mind just has to do it sometimes...) and it's just what I've concluded.
But the point I truly want to make is because Ribeiro has the money and support and it's not him being a jerk when he's normal (Aka not drinking), I really hope he changes for the better for everyone's sake especially his children as I may not have been a victim of alcoholic and drug abuse parents but I can totally connect and understand kids who have been abused regardless.
I know getting rid of drug and alcohol addiction is super difficult and feels almost impossible to a lot of people, but I know there are ways to get rid of it and with Ribeiro's fortunate income and support he needs to help himself and be a better man. It's just much easier to change from an alcoholic and drug abuser than to change from a political or religious zealot, all my experiences and friends who were abused experiences point this way, even if both are very difficult.
You should have talked to my father while he was still alive before he died from alcohol related issues.
It's always easy to say things but in the end it comes down to the person and to universally say "x is easier to do than y" is not the proper way to approach something that is so dependent on several "human factors".
It's also easier to stop drinking soda and not become a diabetic, right? Yet diabetics still exist.
Some people simply don't have the will power but I won't blame them for being "weaker" than others.
Others find it easier to throw a ball with their right hand as opposed to throwing it with their left hand and vice versa. Bottom line is our brains are not wired the same and putting it off as a simple matter of "will power" or lack thereof is just not fair to those affected.
I'm not a better person because I don't drink nor take drugs.
As for those calling him a ******* etc. for the things he has done, good on you. I'm glad you are taking the moral high ground, let's hope others will be just as mindful when you do something you shouldn't have done.
