Re: Deadbeat dad thread

[(Anonymous)]

I still kind of cringe whenever I think about this, but when I was 12 I was friends with a girl who had a somewhat abusive father. He did the whole nine yards, but he mostly hit his wife. He pretty much never hit her while I was in the room or in earshot, but the creepiest thing I ever remember when I accidentally wandered into the kitchen for a glass of water while they were in there and saw him with his arms around her from behind. It looked like an innocent hug.

Then he looked up at me and asked me very casually, "Do you know how to set a broken rib?"

All I could do was look him in the face and tell him that yes, I did know how to tape up ribs. I don't know what he thought, maybe he was impressed that I wasn't intimidated by him or just impressed that a twelve year old knew first aid. He left after that.

A couple months later he got his wife pregnant and subsequently hit her in the stomach so hard she miscarried. I didn't stay friends with that girl very long.

But... I guess there's a happy ending here, since I heard that she left him some years later.

First of all, wow.

Second of all, can I ask how you knew how to set a broken rib?

My dad was a paramedic/ambulance driver for years before I was born. I've known a lot of basic first aid since probably about the time I was six years old.

Beyond that, I took swimming lessons for years as a child- I made it up to the highest tier under becoming an actual lifeguard (you have to pay for certification for that). Aside from CPR, a bunch of that stuff gets reinforced a little, such as placing a head board for a broken neck in water rescue situations and dealing with other broken bones.
