Trigger warning. This post discusses violence against women. ——- I asked directly if there had ever been hitting between his parents. He spoke of how his dad was violent with his mother. When I asked if it ever stopped, he said it did, at least for a while. I asked how. He described a violent and chaotic scene. Dad was on a tirade, mother screaming.

On a daily or weekly basis how many alcoholic beverages do you consume? He answered that he was a social drinker. So I asked how many times a week do you socialize and when you do, how many beverages do you have? He said he gets together with friends maybe four or five times a week. Mostly in the garage. Mostly with neighbors. He said he might have four or five beers.

I feel for the child who’s told bad things about a parent either for revenge or just to “win” more time with their child. That poor child will grow up knowing they are half of each parent. If one half is deemed bad, then what does that child do with that part of themselves representing that parent? In such a situation, I can only hope the parent who is badmouthed, doesn’t do the same thinking it evens the score.

By Greg Wright, NASW Communications Director Squealer , a movie streaming on Apple TV, Prime Video and other platforms , is your typical Grindhouse film. Low budget with a big heaping of violence, gore and nudity. But although the plot is predictable and the acting leaves a bit to be desired, the film does offer one positive – the social worker role is pretty badass.
