      Calling a white man that married a black woman with 10 kids a racist to simplistic. Not everything is so clear cut as being a racist or ally. Robert was not a racist. It was just the time frame of their love. Robert who should have been a celebrated soldier but instead he was reduced to just being a n****r lover. For perspective, Loving v. Virginia was in 1967. Bunny was born in 1955. The father was an outcaste from the white world he came. In similarity, Trevor Noah spoke about being ‘born a crime.’ I can only imagine the father seeing his black wife and mixed children with resentment. He was conflicted with loving them (like Prince Harry to Meghan Markle)…that’s why he chose them. Love in one hand and a loss of a white world he once had access to on the other hand. The father, though a monster to his wife and children, was also a victim of the anti-miscegenation climate of the U.S. at the time. We as audience have to humanize all of their struggles. The father, the mother, Bunny, Bobby, James and whomever else where all victims. Today we live in post Loving v. Virginia so may not empathize with the psychology of that time.

      Look at how common abuse is. You’re most likely to be abused by someone you know rather than a complete stranger. I’m not shocked because a large amount of the population is forced into resilience on an everyday basis. Even those that you know can be silently struggling. Victims of trauma have no other choice but to function, most of them do.
      Look at the statistics and see how many truly suffer in silence, and how many families facilitate abuse. It could be happening in your family and you wouldn’t know it. 1 in 3 women experience it, 1 in 6 men experience it. (As a survivor I hate being called resilient, we didn’t have a choice)

El became a father at the age of 15. Its been said El was hypersexual teenager maybe because of the sexual abuse in the home. Its also been said El doesn't like to talk about certain things in the debarge upbringing. The debarge has serious generational curse. Chico debarge son was murdered last year in Sherman Oakes, CA. The young man was homeless. El debarge oldest son El Jr. has talked against his father on Instagram how he was absentee father and slept with one of his girlfriends and got her pregnant. It's complete mess in the debarge family Its just sad Tennille. The debarge siblings have so much jealousy against El because he became the star of the group.

      I'm so thankful for my family and my upbringing when I hear stories like this. I NEVER had to worry about someone doing something to me like that. I've gotten maybe 3/4 spankings as a kid combined from mom, dad and both sets of grandparents. I never had to see my mom being abused, and my home was full of love and laughter. I always say I grew up in a lunatic asylum and the patients (us kids) were running it. And I wouldn't change it for the world! Everyone was always at my maternal grandparents house because they knew they'd get a great meal and some good laughs. Any day of the week, someone extra had their feet under Gran's table and she was more than happy to have them. I wish everyone grew up like I did. I think we'd have so much less crime and violence in our community if the children were loved as much as we were. Don't get me wrong, none of the adults were to be played with...ESPECIALLY Gran! But there wasn't abuse of any kind going on there. She beat up one of my mom's friend's mother for beating her child so badly she was hospitalized for 4 weeks with multiple broken bones. My grandma said she wanted Daisy (false name) to feel that same pain Karen (false name) did. And boy did she! The only reason my grandma stayed outta jail was because Daisy's ass didn't want to go for what she'd done, and she knew Gran would be honest about the reason behind the assault. But let me stop talking lol. I'm just hoping part 2 doesn't take forever!

The daughter wanted to go to church begged her mother and she choose not to take her to church.

I'd love to see Etterline on Iyanla with some accountability. I understand the times, and the abuse, then add unaddressed mental illness (even post-partum) and religious deflection...(and back then women couldn't get homes, bank accounts or cars without men)...HOWEVER...those children had NO covering or protection...horrific. There is some, clear mental instability from both parents. That father was absolutely sick AND perverse. Unbelievable.
