I am giving the details about the destructive behavior my father (Mike Rinder) displayed towards my mother (Catherine Rinder). Given that he injured her extensively, I cannot let him get away with this or allow him to justify his actions.

In April 2010 I was with my mother and Mike’s brother, Andrew, in Florida. While there, we went to see my father who had just pulled a stunt at our church in Clearwater to harass us, my religion and to personally harass my brother. It was necessary to try and see him to get him to stop doing this and come to his senses.

Upon seeing my mother and in response to her efforts to take his behavior up with him, he forcefully grabbed her arms and injured both, with long term damage to her right arm. An ambulance was called and my mother received medical treatment.

But that was not the end of it. I feel strongly about making it clear that the damage WAS DONE BY HIM and he has to confront his brutality.

When my Mom’s arms were unbandaged a few weeks later, I was shocked at how mangled it was and the extent of damage caused. Though the wound started to heal there was deeper physical pain inflicted by him grabbing and yanking her right arm and holding it in a vice-like grip. The pain continued, unrelenting since he hurt her.

Throughout this whole time she has not had full use of that arm and lost much of her nerve control.  It turned out that the injury was even more than the surface mangled flesh, but his force caused a whole lot of other medical ramifications and she had to receive surgery to handle the damage caused by Mike’s attack. She has months of recovery still to go.

I see the ramifications of what he did to her on a daily basis. This injury to her has hurt everyone that he should care about , but instead he denies he even did it and continues to attack us. It is sickening to me that my own father would do this to my mother. The above is some insight into how cruel Mike Rinder really is. His inhumane, uncompassionate treatment of others extends to anyone – even his own family.
