We really don't know the whole story.
I was abused for many years, and it wasn't until I took matters into my own hands when I was 18 that it finally stopped. We have no clue what Hardy's father put him through.
If it is just an anger issue, then shame on Hardy. If Hardy's father was abusive then he deserved what he got. We are too quick to judge people here, sometimes I am just as guilty with that, but we need to understand there are two sides to the story.
Don't think it's OK to hit your father for any reason? Be abused for 18 years and see what you think.
