Talk:Jacques Schnee/@comment-124.197.38.215-20180426021846/@comment-4010415-20180904224939

@Christopher And we do have indication that that slap may not have been the only time he has lashed out at one of his kids.

It seems like Jacques physically lashes out whenever his anger peaks. This is indicated by the beginning of what Weiss overheard from his second argument with Ironwood in Volume 4, while she was sneaking out. We hear glass breaking, and then Ironwood tells Jacques to get a hold of himself. This implies that Jacques was the one who broke the glass object and that it was out of anger.

Recall what Weiss said in Volume 1: "And every day, my father would come home furious. And that made for a very difficult childhood."
