That is certainly a possibility, dad harassed at work, but better communication wit his wife is needed. Was their communication better, she would told him what had happened, maybe.
It is time that we we were told what's bothering mom and what her part is in all this.
I also do not understand why the women in the town and especially the victims do not stand up against the violence of the men, now is the time. They now know they are not the only victims and things will only change when they stand up.
