Ok I admit I cried when she said she found herself after decades. That broke me because I can relate. Such a sad situation she didn’t give up on him and he was clean for 14 years. But she lost decades of her life dealing with this man, scared of him, tethered by him and parenting him. I truly hope she finds peace and can make great memories. 🙏🏼
Oh, no. After hearing his comments, it's apparent that he's not worthy of her grace. But offering it is for her, not him. She is and always has been a much better person than him. 50 is not that old. I hope and pray that after he dies, she might fall in love and have a relationship with someone who cherishes her.
Or, she learns that she doesn’t need to be in a relationship. She can live her life doing what she wants when she wants without having to consider anyone else’s needs.
Maybe she knows he won’t be around much longer and is willing to put up with him. I can’t understand it but it’s her life. My aunt worked with a woman who had an abusive husband. When she finally worked up the courage to leave him, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer with only a few months to live. So, she stayed with him because he didn’t have anyone else to help him. It was very hard for her to stay because, even though he was dying, he was still a mean snd nasty man. When my aunt asked her how she got through it, her reply was “I dug his grave” (not this actual one). It was winter so she would go out with a pick axe and shovel and dig up the ground. When he asked what she was doing, she said she was preparing flower beds.
I am a survivor of Domestic Violence. She IS making a huge mistake. He is still playing the victim.. The moment he walks back into that house he will be the same person he was all along. AA terms a "Dry Drunk" where he might be Dry = Sober but still thinking, behaving like he's Drunk. Until she gets to counseling, a support group (Al-Anon), surround herself with women who can educate her, be there for her, she will fall right back into her codependent role once more. This time she will stay with him because of his health. God forbid, he looks healthy enough to use a gun. I fear for her safety. She believes she has power over him, she does not!!! DISCLAIMER: My abuser husband was an alcoholic/drug addict.
@@patriciaroberts308 i'm guessing you're correct...and hoping you're not. There are exceptions to every rule, so maybe he will be an exception, I doubt it, though...as others have pointed out, after she spoke, he spoke...about himself: how he had to do work that was painful to him because of his illness...but unless I missed it, no words about the years and years of emotional and physical pain he inflicted on her. And though she spoke about what a good man he was, helping others, who knows...that could be the mask he wore, to make himself feel and look good. Still...anything is possible, and for both their sakes (but mostly hers, I admit) I hope she's right. I wish there was a way we could find out how it turned out.
I very much appreciate when a Judge takes the time to get to know the individual(s) in a case and looks at the whole picture and not just some charge they see next to a name/number on a piece of paper. ❤ I hope and pray that this man's last bit of life is spent making happy memories with his wife and thier families. ❤
I was with a alcoholic for ten years he stopped just before he left me. He contacted me saying he was riddled with cancer and the Doctors thought he had three months, he died six weeks ago after surviving for seven months. That lady has found her voice, truly hope she continues, until the end.
Thank you for posting this to all the daughters and the mothers who have to deal with alcoholics throughout their whole lives, will understand every word that this woman is saying God bless her❤
When his wife spoke about seeing “that” look in his eyes, it shot me straight back to my childhood. My stepfather would go straight to the pub from work, come home late with a bottle of lemonade an fiery eyes. We would scatter, as we knew that look.
I totally cried through her statement. He definitely doesn't seem to deserve it. His attorney seemed to really absorb it. He isn't going to take accountability.
I know exactly how this woman feels because I went through the same.The look in the eye I know it so very well.I became a widow at 47 and I’m single and I don’t want any men in my life I have my kids and grandkids and I also have friends.He’s not going to stop drinking and he’s going to drink because he’s dying already so to him it makes no sense in stopping.I know I went through it with my husband.Good luck to his wife
Darlin woman, crying for you! But know how powerful every word you spoke is. Alcohol, wasted time, wasted love...wasted life. We choose to walk through life with people who bring out the best in us. Unfortunately they often times dont share the same feelings. Alcohol wins over love, family. I have such respect for you ma'am. I wish you joy, happiness and prosperity, always. So glad you found the beautiful person you are! ❤️ ❤❤❤
This Judge was so impressive also. Two Wonderful ladies. I hope that lady enjoys her remaining life. I don't know exactly what happened with this Case, but this woman has been through a lot. She is a very forgiven person. Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
One foot in, one foot out... Karma is no joke. That lady does not need to have that man back in her home. She needs to move on and keep the memories she had before.
I know this woman’s pain as I’ve lived it. I sincerely hope this man does stay sober and that he treats her with the respect she deserves. My father was an alcoholic. Actually, both parents were but my mom drank beer at home mostly and never got really drunk where my dad would get really drunk. Sometimes he would just come home and go to bed but other times he would come home and try to unalive himself. I used to lay in bed praying I’d be asleep before he got home so I could, hopefully, sleep through any incidents that might happen. Sometimes, these incidents happened during the daytime. Those were the worst. My siblings and myself all have C-PTSD.
Yes, please do argue those 3 of 10 prior charges and let’s just ignore the other 7 charges he’s NOT arguing. So glad the victim impact is done PRIOR to sentencing. I hate the states that don’t hear them until after sentencing has been done.
Amazing wife. I know this life been on both sides. She had me back there for a few moments. I pray she continues to advocate for herself. We can't change a person who uses drugs and alcohol. But we can make that one decision to take care of ourselves. I wish them both well and pray that he beats cancer so he can live a sober, clean life to enjoy.
I’m pretty sure they are making the argument that there is someone else in the county that has the exact same name as him, so they have the wrong history. I would agree though it’s a bit of a stretch
If he's that much of a drunk, and he's that sick now, unfortunately, it's highly possible he doesn't remember. My sister has been an extreme alcoholic for years. I'm still amazed at the things she doesn't remember, and she's only 35.
@bhilyer I'm sorry re: your sister's illness. No idea how I'm fortunate enough to be sober all these years, but I got scared by statistics and realized there were no 'half measures'. Extra angels to you and your family.
@@bhilyerI am sorry that has happened to you and your family. You are correct, every time the body has to deal with high levels of alcohol, it damages the body. The brain is a sensitive organ. I wish your sister could/would change.
Honestly, no matter how good he is from now on; he does not deserve that woman. She is just too good for him. He has always put alcohol ahead of his love for her and is now needing her to take care of him in his final days. She is one hell of a human being if she sees him through this. God Bless her.
Sweet lady I do hope you read the comments. You’re amazing and a wonderful human being. Believe me this decade is the best so far and you deserve every happiness and blessing from above. Stay strong.
He sounds close to death but talks about working for a landscaper!??? I don’t understand. Don’t let him back in your house. You will only be hurt & disappointed again
She's nuts. Listen to his ranting about himself and what he 'has to go thru', after what he's done to her for 25 years. He's just using her now, like he always has. He's going to be demanding and entitled, like he's always been. Watching somebody die of cancer, and putting up with this level of entitlement and selfishness, isn't going make her any 'good memories'.
You go girl I’m glad you got your power back and you didn’t let him take it with him to the grave as a survivor of domestic violence from a drug abuser. I am so proud of you may not mean anything, but I am crying just listening to you I wish I had been strong enough to say those words a long time ago And I too, watched my husband the love of my life die of cancer only we have been separated for 20 years well almost 20 years 15 years something like that anyway I am know my guy was 20 years. I had him forgiven him hadn’t forgotten and I was at his bedside Changed his diaper changed his bedding washing him down feeding him fighting for him to make sure he was not in pain for that amazing week we had. Left in the last word he said were to his mother and I and it was. I love you. His daughter was by his side when he passed. I stood back so she could be with him. I said a prayer and my son who wasn’t his thanked him for giving him a big sister And told him he take care of his big sister for him and that man appreciated that little boys words and I know that he wanted that little boy to be his butt because of what he did it would never be, but I know he’s in a better place. I know he’s proud of me. I know he’s yelling at me because I forgot to call my mother-in-law, but I’m proud of you girl.
I believe the judge was, is amazing. Her willingness to listen, her hope for the defendant’s future? Alcohol is a powerful weapon and it’s abused day in and day out. The family? Amazing, they love an addict, and that’s okay and the addict probably needs it more than they think. Not an excuse for the bad behavior… for guilt? They know. They know the shame. Love has never left the situation. It means the world to people when they feel love and acceptance 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I know where she’s coming from, and give her much respect for helping herself with God’s strength and courage! Prayers for ll to go well for both! 🧡🙏🙏🙏🧡
My late husband had stage four pancreatic cancer. He had one MRI and they didn't give him another one because they didn't need to see the progression. They could follow where he was through blood tests. MRIs are expensive and they don't make any sense for some one who is terminal
So this jerk abuses her all these years ruins his health drinking and then goes back home and she takes care of him. I'm so glad I never got married or had kids.
I don't think it's about marrying or not marrying, or having kids or not having kids; it's about doing what's right for you, and if that's getting married, marrying the right person, who loves and treats you (and the kids, if y'all want 'em) the way you want and deserve to be treated.
Woooowwww!!!!!!! What is sadder is how she is only 50yrs old same as me but she looks 15yrs older I dont know his age but he looks close to 70 Alcoholism is an insidious disease Id be interested how long he was able to ‘stick around’
How Heart touching and I certainly pray that this family can heal from the experience of cancer and those who say that he will be bad until he dies doesn't understand life and they must be awfully lonely to say that because they have no support system and they are probably going to die alone 😢
This creep has been selfish all his life, he dragged her down to his level to live in a horrible situation day in & day out. This lady needs to leave him to face his death alone; she needs to move on & hold onto her 'memories'. This is crazy
That’s so messed up that he doesn’t have to pay for what he did and don’t say cancer is. People get cancer every single day and it’s not payback for everyone…
Seems to me people who deserve good things often get terrible things, and people who deserve to pay for what they've done, thrive instead. That's just life, and that part of life sucks-- homeless veterans who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for others, and greedy corporate heads who are kow-towed to, fly around in private planes to private islands and have flunkies to take care of all their scutwork and errands, devoted wives who get cheated on, single moms who can't catch a break...and entitled, racist Karens with maids, private chefs and personal trainers. Why would this couple be any different?
@@binghamtonblows If you look at that person's comment history, it's clear they are next level unhappy... and probably quite alone. Here's to better days for them.
Do you really think the YT comments section is a good place to blame the victim? I don’t know what trauma you experienced at some point in your life, but consider my comments as a literal sign that you should talk to a therapist because your wiring is faulty. This video encapsulates the epitome of justice served. I’m not sure I’ve seen another example where the victim of the crime determined the actual punishment to be imposed. You were not victimised by the defendant, but somehow you think you know better than the actual victim about what retribution is most appropriate to the crimes committed against her? What would she know about the circumstances of her own life and the things that would bring her happiness? Forgiveness is for losers who don’t have the stamina to hold a grudge, right?
I wish it was this easy to get an alcoholic to straighten up, but I have seen people go to the grave even with cancer holding that bottle. Hopefully, that won’t happen here.
I’m sorry but … he may drink again.. especially if he falls into self-pity , which he may do easily because He’s coming to the end of life.. alcoholism defies all logic & for an alcoholic, “putting your mind to it” isn’t enough . If it was many people would have been sober long ago. I hope things go well especially for her…
Alcohol is a legal drug that costs the users their health their minds their souls their families their relationships their marriages their jobs their careers their reputations their dignity their self worth their perception and their ability to make good choices and their judgement when participating or executing normal everyday functions that require judgement and sober thinking .and the repetative tragic PREVENTABLE horror of killing innocent people because alcohol interferes judgement families are devastated negligence due to alcohol is a preventable nightmare. Ultimately by the affect of habitual alcohol use drug use the physical body will fail and an untimely death or by the distorted neurological impairment that sends messages to the brain to engage in sober activities results in tragic accidents ..the drunks at bars leave to get into vehicles they intend to operate or boats the alcohol effects create delusional thinking and a tragic death is almost ALWAYS DUE TO THE DRUG ALCOHOL OR BECAUSE SOMEONE INTOXICATED WITH THE DRUG ALCOHOL HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT NEGLIGENTLY CAUSED AN INNOCENT PERSON OR MANY TO LOSE THEIR LIVES.
Sweet lady I do hope you read the comments. You’re amazing and a wonderful human being. Believe me this decade is the best so far and you deserve every happiness and blessing from above. Stay strong.
That is one impressive woman. I hope her life goes well for her from now on.
No tears here. And still she is giving up everything for him. And taking care of him. He doesn't deserve her.
This statement should be printed and distributed to all AA chapters all over the world.

What he said after she spoke said everything about him. It's all about him. 😊
Yea, him complaining because he had to clean toilets made me think the same.
Awesome. Every person suffering from a relationship with an alchoholic or drugged up partner should hear this.
I started forwarding this video after hearing her testimony
Totally agree! It brings me to tears. This is my life
That's all he has to say after her amazing statement?? It's all about him, disease or not, and it will continue to be all about him until he's dead.
He is already making excuses for not attending battering classes. I think she is making a huge mistake.
Me too
Maybe she knows he won’t be around much longer and is willing to put up with him. I can’t understand it but it’s her life.

Al-Anon is a life-changer for those who care for an alcoholic, but the denial in loved ones can be as immense as it is in the one doing the drinking.

Here's to better days for them.
@@binghamtonblows You literally have no idea how to use the word "Literally."
She shouldn't have taken him back though.
Do you really think the YT comments section is a good place to blame the victim? I don’t know what trauma you experienced at some point in your life, but consider my comments as a literal sign that you should talk to a therapist because your wiring is faulty. This video encapsulates the epitome of justice served. I’m not sure I’ve seen another example where the victim of the crime determined the actual punishment to be imposed. You were not victimised by the defendant, but somehow you think you know better than the actual victim about what retribution is most appropriate to the crimes committed against her? What would she know about the circumstances of her own life and the things that would bring her happiness? Forgiveness is for losers who don’t have the stamina to hold a grudge, right?
What did this man do to end up in court
I wish it was this easy to get an alcoholic to straighten up, but I have seen people go to the grave even with cancer holding that bottle. Hopefully, that won’t happen here.
No removal of tether.
It's my pleasure...to defend him???
❤❤❤❤❤
I can’t believe she said she didn’t care if he came back or not. That seemed to contradict everything she said her statement
He needs to stay in jail. Always thethered
She needs to get life insurance on this drunk
Yeah, right...because insurance companies are just that generous...
So really nothings changed
I’m sorry but … he may drink again.. especially if he falls into self-pity , which he may do easily because He’s coming to the end of life.. alcoholism defies all logic & for an alcoholic, “putting your mind to it” isn’t enough . If it was many people would have been sober long ago.
I hope things go well especially for her…
smh
Does anyone know where this is? Judges names? Sounds like Cleveland or Detroit.
Hon. Tracy E. Green
What happened? Google sucks! It brings up every shiela James on the planet except this one!!
Alcohol is a legal drug that costs the users their health their minds their souls their families their relationships their marriages their jobs their careers their reputations their dignity their self worth their perception and their ability to make good choices and their judgement when participating or executing normal everyday functions that require judgement and sober thinking .and the repetative tragic PREVENTABLE horror of killing innocent people because alcohol interferes judgement families are devastated negligence due to alcohol is a preventable nightmare. Ultimately by the affect of habitual alcohol use drug use the physical body will fail and an untimely death or by the distorted neurological impairment that sends messages to the brain to engage in sober activities results in tragic accidents ..the drunks at bars leave to get into vehicles they intend to operate or boats the alcohol effects create delusional thinking and a tragic death is almost ALWAYS DUE TO THE DRUG ALCOHOL OR BECAUSE SOMEONE INTOXICATED WITH THE DRUG ALCOHOL HAS DONE SOMETHING THAT NEGLIGENTLY CAUSED AN INNOCENT PERSON OR MANY TO LOSE THEIR LIVES.
I don't like that alcoholics lawyer at all.
