His wife...
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 12:07 pm
I must say I feel very sorry for his wife, one of the most put-upon, down-trodden, dormats I've ever heard of. She was more or less his slave. I watched the hour long BBC documentary on this on Tuesday night, then the hour long ITV documentary about it afterwards. It was screened at the same time but I watched it on the +1 channel, so I had two hours of this to scrutinise.
He made his wife endure a situation where he has his mistress living with them, he had sex with the wife and the mistress often one after the other, and the wife just had to put up with it. He often had sex with other women too and his wife was aware of this. He made his wife give other men blow-jobs while he would watch. One of the kids his wife bore him was born just before one that the mistress bore him too, and all of them would sit on the sofa watching TV with the two babies. He was also violent to his wife and to say he was controlling of her is an understatement. He owned her.
It was claimed his wife was abused as a kid, but this was denied by her dad on the programme. People who are put-upon and controlled as children are usually put-upon and controlled as adults. Women gravitate, as adults, towards the kind of men who were major in their lives when they were growing up. There is a well known saying: "girls always marry their dads".
His meek, timid little wife was so owned, controlled and dominated that she would have had little choice but to go along with what the ogre of her husband, Mick Philpott, said was going to happen. I doubt she would have made the slightest objection to his plan to set fire to the house, she would have been terrified (and horrified) inside but could not voice this. He would also have made her go along with his plan to pretend to cry at the press conference over it all.
I feel very sorry for her. She was bound to end up with a controlling monster like him, and if she ever gets out of jail and has a relationship again the next man will be similar. All her previous partners would have been like that too. It's all very sad how history repeats itself. We should all feel sorry for this timid, quiet little women who lived a life that could only be described as hell-on-earth, but a life that was inevitable she would have.
