pissed off! my first ex posted a pic of herself on face book in a hospital bed. she had been severely beaten by her boyfriend. i talked to my daughter last night to find out what is going on, and she tells me her mom will never be able to hear out of her left ear again. i saw the signs, behaviors that my daughter had told me about.
i don't still love my first ex, but i don't hate her either. we were just both too young. but seeing that pic made me see red. if i see the guy, i'm going to break his frickin ribs. everytime he breathes he'll have a reminder. there are very few things that are worth spending a couple nights in jail. but this is one of them.
so people are posting on this pic. the guys 19 year old that lives with my ex is saying stupid crap, and making this about himself, and trying to manipulate to make sure he still has a place to stay. i didn't get into it with him, my ex doesn't need to see us getting into it, and i don't want to help the schmuck make it about himself. but it really pisses me off.

What a very sad situation to have happened to her. I can completely understand how you feel about not being in love w/ her but not wanting to have bad things happen to her either, after all she is the mother of your child.
If you want to do something positive in this situation, maybe reach out to her and see if there's anything you can do to help HER. Beating the crap outta her abuser is not going to solve anything and like you said, it will be worth it spending time in jail, but is that a solution to the problem and the short answer is no.
All you will do by enacting violence on her abuser is bring more stress onto her and your own daughter...which like you said, she doesn't need.
Do anything you can to help and encourage her to get out of a horrible situation, but don't put yourself into that situation if you feel you are going to become violent towards him. Let the law sort it out, you stay strong for your daughter and that's in my opinion the best option you have in this situation.
Is your daughter living there? If so, it doesn't sound like a safe place. She would be my first priority.
Frankly I am wondering why someone would post a picture of themselves in that condition. Its strikes me that there is a lot of drama going on in that relationship. Hopefully they'll get the help they both need.
Well if she your ex then it's up to her to get away from the guy and report him to the law. You just should stay clear and move on with your life and not do something that will mess up your own life as well.

You know, some people learn when you kindly point out what they are doing wrong.... some don`t... thats why people invented baseball bats .... strike away...
So sorry to read this.As you say you're not in love with your ex but if you're this upset I think you still have some feelings for her.I can just imagine how upset your daughter and reightfully so.
I know you'd like to beat the pulp out of that boyfriend cause they were and are still times that I've liked to have laid into someone myself.I know the feeling.But I think jail time would be worth it.JMO

i totally agree no child should have to witness that and it would be getting her outta there rather than worrying about the adults in the relationship

she is normally a very private person that doesn't do stuff like that. but given the situation, i think that is the best thing that she could have done. too many women try to hide this stuff, minimize it, and they don't get help. friends and family are reaching out to her. and yes, i tild her i was here if she needed to talk, and no, i did not say anything to her about my anger. that doesn't help her.
my twenty year old daughter and i, however, discussed our mutual anger at great length.

I agree with the daughter, but regarding the photos, it could be:
A cry for help.. A reminder of what happens when things go wrong. To let other around her, her friends, that while this man may behave well in front of them, this is what he is like behind close doors. And also a warning or reminder to others who are in similar circumstances of the very dear price they are paying to remain in that type of relationship...
Good news here is the snow has stopped, though I think it will start again soon..
