That's awful and I'm sorry, but your explanation of how you reacted to the situation is hilarious. It reminds me of a buddy I had in college, whose parents split up when he was about 10. His dad was a huge asshole and an egomaniac. I met the man several times - he was fun, he liked to party, and he paid for everything, but he was a massive dickhead. As a 20 year old, he kicked me out of his house one time for wearing a Pink Floyd shirt. I wouldn't take it off so he said go sleep in your car. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Anyway, my buddy told us that back when his parents were married, his mom and dad would have these massive fights. His mom was a really pleasant woman but she wasn't a pushover. The boys all idolized their dad but felt like they had to defend their mom. Anyway, they are driving to church and the dad is fired up about something. He's screaming at the mom, screaming at his sons, telling them how they make him miserable. Finally he tells his wife to pull the car over and that he's walking back to their house. As he's leaving he looks in the car and shouts "YOU'RE ALL ASSHOLES AND I CAN PROVE IT!"
If that happened to me at 10, I would be bawling. It would be a core memory. But my buddy was so used to it that he just looked at his mom and asked "How is he going to prove we're assholes?"
It's just amazing to me how unphased COD are about shit.
