    Yes, that's generally how it perpetuates and why people don't leave.

    I don't mean that unkindly. I'm saying this is textbook. 

    And now I should probably say no more. 

    Hi Amina. I agree to disagree with you. My dad left the country he loved, left his profession, didn’t speak the language and cleaned other people’s garbage for 25 years so that me and my mother would have a life in Canada. Again, I’m not disagreeing with you. I think you are right but my dad is my dad. I have not hit my children. I have never hit anyone in my life. But that said. There is too many men who abuse women and I am grateful that you can speak up and wish more women did so. 
     

    I too am going to be silent after this. I prefer boobie conversations much more 🙂

    @Amina Sopwith You are absolutely right and I am not making any excuses for my dad. All I’m going to say is that over his lifetime he changed. He redeemed himself and my mother loved him deeply. It’s hard to sum up a persons life in a few characters. But I totally take your words with much gratitude.

    STAR WAES is quite pervy in the right context.. 

    and I quote:

     

    Luke, at that speed do you think you'll be able to pull out in time?

    You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought.

    Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?

    Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell.

    She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid!

    Backdoor, huh? Good idea.

    Let's blow this thing so we can go home!

    Look at the size of that thing!

    Negative! It didn't go in. It just impacted on the surface.

    You've got something jammed in here real good.

    There's an awful lot of moisture in here.

    Pull out, Wedge! You can't do any more good back there!

    Almost there... just a couple of seconds...

    This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm.

    I thought they smelled bad on the outside.

    I look forward to completing your training. In time, you will call me "Master."

    Sorry about the mess...

    Some of both.  I learned very early that life was a lot less painful the more I was not around my family.  Every time this comes up with a therapist (and there have been a few) they always ask if he struck me with his hand.  Oh hell no.  He always used a weapon.  Depending on how angry he was, once he started passing out a whipping, everyone got one.  Well, all the children.  He never touched mom in front of us, I know that much.  He and my mother were instrumental in my late teen and early twenties self loathing and self destructive behavior, no doubt about it.  But that was so long ago.  I have raised myself since then.  Still ... I don't keep up with family like I want to.  My oldest brother turned out a perfect blend of dad's violence and mom's religious fanaticism.  I don't ever care to ever see him again.  My middle brother and I were close tho and we both struggled with the same demons.  I love him; I know he loves me.  However we haven't spoken in years.  I'm the youngest.  I'm the girl.  I was the "favorite" among the aunts and I know I had it easier than my brothers.  Still, I was pretty *****ed up and was the only one who rebelled as I did.

    Anyway ...

    I can get along with just about everybody but when faced with men that are hiding insecurities behind arrogance and claiming it is confidence (LOL) I have zero patience.   About bosses: my favorite ever boss was a man who other people called intimidating.  I knew how much that bothered him.  He was strong willed and expected the best from you but he was also very protective of his people. 

    I am much more comfortable around women but I still adore a gentleman.  Intelligence, a sense of humor and the ability to laugh at ourselves is key to what I find attractive.  Everything I lacked in childhood.  The hardest thing to learn through my down years was that is OK to want those things and to have those things in my life.

     

    Well, that was a topic ...

    TL;DR:  I like boobies.

    I like boobies too, but that’s for another time. 
     

    I have been very moved by your exchange with Belinda. Although I have not a similar experience, on one level I can relate. 
     

    My dad was a great man. Very loving. Very kind but he was an alcoholic and as a kid I hated him for it. I hated him for the bruises he gave my mother and for the broken dry eggs I had to scrape off the floor As a kid because my mom would fight back. 
     

    My mom tried to reach him a lesson and got drunk for 2 straight weeks. He sobered up and take care of me. I was torn. I had a dad but lost a mom. 
     

    To make a long story short, in my 20’s I read a novel by Dostoevsky called Crime and Punishment. In it, the character Marmalodov reminded me of my dad. He was a drunk but a likeable one. Slowly over the years I grew more accepting and as my dad got older he quit altogether. My memories are of him getting up each morning as early as possible so he can be there with my mom in the hospital as she lay dying for three months. 
     

    I’m not saying anything by this. It’s my story. I just decided to share a little bit of it. 
     

    he had many sayings. The one that always comes back to me is IF ITS GOING TOO HARD YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT. 
     

    Now back to boobies! I have a reputation to protect.
