"But what is most striking in reading the son's touching tale is the fact that, for him, the fact of spousal abuse was a common incidence, something to be excused, something he had no reserve in revealing. In trying to position his father as a benevolent provider unfortunately stuck with an impossible woman, he unwittingly revealed not only that his father did beat his mother, but that this was no big deal."
