YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Looking at johnny's statement and the Dallas PD statement, she didn't let them take pictures and she didn't file a criminal complaint so case closed?
Blokestradamus Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Looking at johnny's statement and the Dallas PD statement, she didn't let them take pictures and she didn't file a criminal complaint so case closed? Two options are left, right? 1) Payoff. 2) She lied.
WotAGuy Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Without trying to sound like I'm saying she deserved it, she put herself in a really bad situation. I'll never understand how someone can keep going back to someone like that. Co-dependence? Mental illness? Alcoholism? The choices are endless.
Augie Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Co-dependence? Mental illness? Alcoholism? The choices are endless. Yep, life is complicated. And not always easy.
Blokestradamus Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Co-dependence? Mental illness? Alcoholism? The choices are endless. Yep. I've lived it first hand with my parents. Spent a long time trying to rationalise it, still not sure. Edited February 5, 2016 by Blokestradamus
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Uh, how 'bout a picture of the girlfriend? http://bustedcoverage.com/2015/12/07/colleen-crowley-catches-food-in-mouth-during-browns-blowout/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

From what I read they were together either 2 or 4 years, and I'm not saying this makes it ok but for those of us who are older, think back to 22 years old roughly. You've been together that long and just break up a month or so ago, many people still spend some time with them for whatever reasons. It's possible it was one of those " hey come visit me" ok I will and then a fight starts. It happens. It doesn't make her mentally ill.

For what it's worth, you are certainly not alone. It's very complicated stuff. And far more common than people realize. We have lived this stuff as well, and I wish I had answers.

Really, the more stories come out, the more he starts looking to me like he's not just a drunk idiot, but has serious mental health issues.

I probably come across like a prick to some for trying to "save" guys like Johnny but it touches too close to home.
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 @adamschefter While Dallas PD has closed its investigation into Johnny Manziel's alleged assault, Fort Worth PD has not. Its investigation continues.

I think when there are repeated domestic violence altercations, going back to the ex is not normal. Mental illness wasn't meant as a pejorative term, it's a medical one.

I probably come across like a prick to some for trying to "save" guys like Johnny but it touches too close to home. It took us years (and a medium-large sized fortune) to work it out with our son. He's a 2-3 years older than JF. We thought we could save him. In the end, only he could save himself. Miracles happen, and he's alive and well and could not be doing better. Don't apologize for trying to "save" someone, but know you can't do it for them. Sorry, an emotional topic for us as well.
YoloinOhio Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 need to remember that he reportedly threatened suicide per the police report. Needs immediate counseling.

Mental illness wasn't meant as a pejorative term, it's a medical one. I would disagree. Battered women in many cases tend to stay or return back to their tormentor. It's probably more the norm than not.
