Elin Nordegren: If You Did Scratch Tiger Woods’ Face Don’t Beat Yourself Up, Our Shrink Says
Our psychotherapist says: Don’t judge her just yet!
There have been plenty of allegations made in the case of Tiger Woods‘ Nov. 27 car accident, but one of the most shocking is that wife Elin Nordegren may have attacked her husband before he left the house! Elin reportedly fought with Tiger over his rumored affair with Rachel Uchitel — and a source says the cuts on Tiger’s face may have come from Elin’s own fingernails! But before people start labeling Elin as “crazy” or “violent,” Los Angeles-based psychotherapist Dr. Nancy Irwin says we should think rationally about her response.
“It would be a very human response,” Dr. Irwin says of Elin’s rumored attack on her husband. Dr. Irwin has worked closely with professional golfers and their wives in their past, and she knows a thing or two about the pressure of living in the spotlight. “I could understand her wanting to do that. It’s one of those impulses we have to fight. Violence is never the answer, unless it’s in self-defense.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s an appropriate response,” she continues. “But it definitely happens more often than we’d all like to think it does.”
Dr. Irwin also gave us some great tips for how Tiger and Elin can save their marriage — even if his alleged affair with Rachel turns out to be true! We’ll be posting those tomorrow, and trust us, you won’t want to miss out on her advice. Who knows — it might even save one YOUR relationships!

I’d scratch my husbands face too if he cheated on me.

Funny how whenever a woman is violent to a man, the term “domestic violence” is studiously avoided. Double standard, anyone?
Should there be any substance to the allegation, I have little doubt any prosecution will occur. After all, the perpetrator is pretty and has breasts. Ditto with all the women teachers having sex with their students.
Funny how the feminists and media never demand equality when it comes to responsibility and accopuntability.

First, Dr. Nancy is listed as a hypnotherapist not a psychotherapist. Her advice will create more problems than solutions. I’d have to assume the blogger shopped around for an opinion of her liking which includes the double standard in regards to the law…which is stereotypical of white women of privilege. If Elin and Tiger’s roles were reversed, you’d want him under the jail while encouraging Elin to raid his bank account.
My advice to Tiger is get a RESTRAINING ORDER! If she’s hit you once, she’ll do it again. Also, ensure the children’s safety with supervised visitations until she gets stable. If she gets depressed and suicidal, we do not need to read about her taking the children with her. Domestic violence by women needs to stop just like women want men to stop. Woods needs to press charges and have her go through those court mandated anger management classes.
For Elin, I have two words, DEFENSE ATTORNEY! It looks like felony assaults. She should be modeling the latest Community Work Service vest in the near future.

This whole article is proof that women have fooled society into thinking it’s ok For a Women to be violent towards men, but not the other way around. This needs to STOP NOW.
What if someone said…Rhianna probably deserved her ass whooping by Chris Brown (lets say she cheated) There would be OUTRAGE to the article and editor. But now turn the story around and ehhh it’s ok for a women to do physical bodily harm to a man…Ya that’s ok…But towards a Woman..OMG NO!! The sterotype that women are defenseless is junk, give a woman a bat, golf club or any thing that can be used as a weapon, and shes more dangerious than a man anyday of the week, unless it’s Bruce lee. I would like to ask the Author and future writers to end the Sterotype NOW that it’s OK for ANY violence Jokingly or NOT against either sex to NOT BE OK. Even Jokingly, it’s NOT FUNNY. As a Male I automatically get targeted As the “violent” person and I am sick of it.
