Maybe not physically abusive, but I can see him as an emotionally abusive bully to his wife and kids.
Judging by how he carries himself, he's comfortable with bullying everyone around him.

Though I'm inclined to think Ann is as much an enabler as a victim.

(75,480 posts)and she are abusive parents, not physically, but I sure can see the possibility of psychological abuse from both of them.

(2,921 posts)Oh no - she has every bit the mean streak Mitt has. Romney's a world-class jerk, no doubt, but nobody tells Ann Romney nothing she doesn't already want to hear.
You can see that in the imperious way she carries herself.

(50,254 posts)On long car trips, Mitt would only let his kids have bathroom breaks when he stopped for gas. Even, I presume, when they were little.
(It's likely that he screamed at them when they couldn't hold it, too-that's typical of the type.)
