Barbara Walter's "View" today

[LisaInNc]

I have watched the view for years and I have felt that Barbara has an agenda for her favorite people of the really powerful and famous.

Gone is the newsperson who is objective and reports with no opinion. I am old...I remember those people. Barbara was supposed to be one of them. It's sad to me because she is lauded as the women that broke the gender barrier. What a disappointment!

If the article is to be believed, Woody was receiving treatment from a child psychologist before the attic incident. Mia also said that Woody looked at Dylan in a sexual way starting around the age of 2 or 3.

The judge also recounts Farrow’s misgivings regarding Allen’s behavior toward Dylan from the time she was between two and three years old. According to the judge’s decision, Farrow told Allen, “You look at her [Dylan] in a sexual way. You fondled her . . . You don’t give her any breathing room. You look at her when she’s naked.”

Then you have to wonder WHY SHE STAYED WITH HIM AS A LOVER?
They weren't married, so if this is true, why the heck did they stay in a relationship?
The whole thing is simply bizarre

There are plenty of other women who've made this same decision. It's sick and sad, but, unfortunately, it's not unique or uncommon.

(Sorry, I only taught for a few years, but I had more than one female student in the untenable situation of having to find alternative living arrangements due to their momma's boyfriend's unhealthy interest. It still disgusts me how many women will choose a boyfriend over a child.)

It is one of the biggest mysteries in the area of child sexual abuse why this is true, but it is true all too often.

So now Dylan was raped by Woody because Mia tried to get him help instead of throwing him out when she sensed something was wrong? ETA: She didn't know that Woody was systematically abusing Dylan until the incident in the attic and Dylan asked if Woody's behavior was normal.

The first time I saw a man looked at my baby (if I had one) in a sexual manner, he'd be out of my life FOREVER. Period.

I know...It's inconceivable that this happens, but it does. For some women, all their worth comes from having a man around, at any cost

How many times do people ask why a woman stays in an abusive relationship? It happens.
