Taryn Teutsch's video: My New Year wish is for a change

My father, Mike Rinder, pinned my mom so she couldn’t move and then pulled her arms down and she started hearing her bones cracking and was screaming for him to “Stop!” I was in shock. I couldn’t believe my father was doing this to my mother. It was a moment of horror. And then it was over. Blood was everywhere. My mom was in agony. My father, Mike Rinder, only exuded HATE. Not an apology, not an ounce of compassion, pure hate. I was disgusted. My father was like ice, uncaring and unremorseful. He had this wild crazed look in his eyes. Totally frightening. I remember looking at him and feeling scared, because such vicious abuse, in front of your daughter and to your wife of over 30 years is nothing but evil. That was a wakeup call for me. And now I have had an even bigger wakeup call because this vicious man, Mike Rinder, has been allowed to get away with it. He has been put on TV as if he is a normal citizen. He has gotten his co-host to victim shame my mom. So whereas I had a wakeup call when it happened, I am now forevermore dedicated to bringing Justice 4 my mom. Not only did he cause my mother pain that she experiences every day, now he is victim shaming her too. My mom is not healed, years later. It took months just to get her to the point of functioning. I tied her shoes for her, made her bed for her, cut her food for her, she even had shirts made that had slits down the side because she couldn’t move her arm. And after all that, she is permanently damaged. My mom cannot raise her arm. She has a huge problem on circulation in her arm and every single day she has to do ice and hot and ice to force circulation. Yet after doing that to my mom, Mike Rinder still gets paid to go on TV. And my view is that if A&E’s Paul Buccieri agrees to pay Mike Rinder then he agrees with men beating women. A&E is supporting an abuser. So in this New Year, my wish is for a change. We need to take action and we need to stop domestic violence and stop support for men that abuse women.
