Hugs to all. It sounds like quite a few of you are gong through rough times and I know how that feels. You have my thoughts a prayers. My mum is thankfully home now and recovering nicely.

My situation has worsened however and I can barely walk right now. I am dealing. Meh.

And my best friend (I call her my sister) I had to issue an ultimatum to today: either get rid of the abusive fucktard in your life or I am no longer going to be part of that life. I feel awful but I know it was the right thing to do. I know she won't leave him for herself but maybe she can see, through my reaction, what kind of harm this is doing to her and those around her. I had a good friend do this for me when I needed it and I felt so betrayed by her in the moment, but once I was out of the bad relationship, I could not have felt more thankful to her for being honest with me. She helped save my life and I am praying that my sister can use this to save her own.

(((Jax))) so sorry. And your poor friend, wow, that is so scary, especially as cutting her off from good people like you is exactly what her abuser wants to do. :cry: Please tell her that your door is open is she ever breaks free.

3 people shot and killed, another in critical condition in hospital after an armed robbery at my university campus late last night. They were not staff or students, but employees of a security company involved with the bank machines here. I didn't even know about it until I was about to leave for work (I have a summer job on campus). Our emergency alert system that sends emails and text messages to staff and students, (among other methods of notification) when there is a severe disaster, emergency, danger, or act of violence at school was never activated. No one has explained why yet. So many people live on campus, or stay late in the buildings open 24 hours. Makes me worry what will happen if there is a next time, and god forbid it's during school hours when campus is busiest.

Kinda rattled as well since it's so close to home, and really feeling for the families of the victims. Fuck.

I did make it clear that I was not abandoning her and was always going to be there for her, but if he is around I won't be. I still talk to her on the phone and text her, but I will not go to their home, I will not interact with him at all, and my child is certainly not allowed anywhere near the situation at all. I don't know what else to do. I won't put my family in harm's way for her. I think that really was the slap in the face she needed. She is already talking about how to get rid of him and what kind of support she'll need to keep it up. In almost 12 years I have never not been there for her. I have always been the one, who even during the most fucked up shit, was there. So saying I wouldn't be anymore really made her take a step back and take stock. I hope it sticks.

Fuck, Knowmad, it reminds me of something that makes sense to me:

Morality is doing what is right
regardless of what you are told.
Religion is doing what you are told
regardless of what is right.

not a very difficult choice, if you ask me... :wink:

Fuck 'em. It's the worst when family, who is supposed to support you no matter what, are the bad guys. There is nothing wrong with you, you are not Satan. (Unless you are and then we need to talk about some favors) But seriously, hugs, hang in there, and don't let their warped minds warp you. I would like to remind you that at the MnG last year it was you who reached out to me and made me feel the most welcome and comfortable. (Not that there were not other awesome people there! I love you all) That has stuck in my mind, you are kind and thoughtful and wonderful. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

It's a difficult situation when fundamentalist are your parents. Having grown up in a relatively conservative society, I have had my battles with them.
Plus, there is the whole deal of generation gap that comes in the way. In all, a battle that has no happy ending. Its bothers us so much because they matter to us.
I wish I could say "fuck it"... I am sure I found some way tune them out back then, mostly with the help of friends.
Over time, the line has become clearer to both of us. We have stopped trying to prove each other wrong and that has helped.

Peace to you! Its a fucked up situation and hopefully sorts itself out.

Thanks guys. My in-laws adopted a rescue dog. The dog had lot of issues, mostly aggression toward men. Probably because of some abusive history.
They spent 4 yrs on him, got trainers and all that. He seemed like he was ok, but would snap out of nowhere.
Couple of days ago, he snapped and bit my fil really bad. And they had to make the decision to put him down.
It's a fucking messed up situation where there is no happy ending.

It's probably better for everyone but is so scary when I think of the kind of power we possess.
A syringe shot, a gun shot...
Really? whoever gave us the power, he is like... new around here!!?

More hugs. And a blessing for your parents for fighting the good fight. I have a friend who volunteers at the local shelter, and I know I'm only getting a fraction of the stories, but there is this horror of the never ending march of homeless animals--

fuck. I don't really know what to say.
