Reply to comment by cagonzalez321 in Danielle Reyna told U.S. Soccer about past Gregg Berhalter domestic violence incident by Dann610

Getting counseling doesn’t erase the fact that he beat his partner, and plenty of abused spouses stay with their abuser. He’s a piece of shit, plain and simple.

He kicked her in the leg one time when they were 18 and arguing while drunk. He sought counseling on his own after being honest with their families about what happened and they have now been back together for 30 fucking years.

If we can't forgive people for mistakes they made decades ago that they clearly regret and worked to reconcile then what the fuck are we doing as a society?

No it doesn’t, but the fact that they have been married for 30 years speaks to fact something changed in him AND his wife forgave him. We need to be able to move on from the past…especially if a person has changed their behavior. Our recidivism rate maybe much lower if we could do that.
