Doctor Seuss wrote:Through her jealous and drunken behaviour she has now caused quite a large problem and even taken advantage of the situation to make a few hundred dollars out of it all.
Seuss, full heartfelt respect for your attitude, I sure hope I have a friend like you when I'm in trouble. But this is just ludicrous. I didn't know him when he had his first Khmer wife, but it was well known that he beat the crap out of the last one, and is a generally violent person with serious drug problems.
To say that this came about "through her jealous and drunken behavior" is just absurd, especially when you later concede that you "think everyone knew that things at the bar would end poorly someday, and am just glad that no one is really hurt". We've all had Khmer girlfriends going off in crazy fits of rage, mine being as well documented (and as nuts) as any other, but we don't hospitalize them for it. The cause of this problem was hard drugs and lack of self respect/control and to blame it on anything else would be disservice to your intellect.
