What's Owen doing out of Jail?

This storyline sucks big time because it's so unrealistic. Libby would never have a loving relationship with a father who held her underwater until she could no longer breathe. This would be too traumatic for her to ever see him again. What makes more sense is for Owen to be repeatedly molested in prison, to to the point where he tries to take his own life. This gets him transferred to a Psychiatric Hospital where he has therapy. A sappy idealistic Therapist eventually contacts Denise to participate in Family Therapy which she eventually agrees to because of Libby. Owen eventually is released based on his successful therapy sessions. Unknown to everyone he is still mentally unstable and wants revenge for imagined wrongs. This time he targets Chelsea. We find out that Chelsea had been molested and physically abused by Owen in her childhood. She was always too scared to tell Denise because she kept letting him back into their lives. Libby doesn't want to believe that Owen is capable of this...killing her-yes, but molesting Chelsea-Big No! We begin to see why Chelsea can't maintain a relationship.... why she has self image issues which she cloaks in "bravado". Perhaps she should be in an abusive relationship with an older man. Having seen and been part of such abuse growing up would leave scars...this would manifest itself in some "Great Acting".
