Thanks so much. From reading some of these replies to my first post, it’s clear I’m far from alone in this abuse club. And you’re right, it’s not cool, and it should never be condoned/accepted like in the case of Mayweather. I'd say the police should do more to stop this kind of abuse, but then it seems they're…

Jesus, that’s harsh man. I’m so sorry she went through that. My best friends dad used to abuse him, then his dad went and killed himself on Christmas some years back. My friend has some really mixed up feelings that time of year.

Wow, that’s incredible.

I’ve been in group therapy plus my besty is also the product of an abusive household growing up and we have both broken down in front of each other before and gone through the whole sobbing hysterically/comforting each other thing.

Our moms were cut from the same cloth it seems.

Thanks man, that really means a lot to me.

I didn’t mean to air dirty laundry. This story brought up repressed memories and I responded without thinking/editing. If it can help someone somewhere in similar circumstances than it’s worth my shame I believe.

I'd pay 1000$ to watch Tyson beat the crap out of him. That should have been the punishment he faced for beating his wife. That would be true justice. Fuck this coward.

You know, this was something I learned from one of the many psychologists I’ve been to. Deep down inside I was also angry at my mom, because when I was too young to defend myself, why didn’t SHE defend her ‘cub’ like almost any animal mother would do? I guess,she was too afraid, maybe paralyzed with her own fear, to…

My respect to your friend! How amazing that must have felt to drive away his abuser, and to protect his mother like that. Wow! I completely understand if he sticks around ‘just in case’. I wish them well. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I appreciate this. I think we all have the capacity to be stronger than we realize, but to this day I can't figure out what kept my mother in that situation when all the kids had left. Fear? Must have been. Let me say this: She is in a much better place now. She has a doting boyfriend, and at the age of 71…

I apologize for bringing up bad memories. I have to recognize that I actually suffer from PTSD due to my experience with my dad. It comes out in bits and pieces, sometimes as bad dreams, sometimes as an overreaction to some situation. I've developed an outer shell like an onion peel which is not who I really am…

I can tell you in full truth the nightmares I still get are of my mother getting beaten, not myself. I could take his abuse in stride, but seeing her cower in front of him to this day was the hardest thing to face. I wish you and your mom well on your respective journeys.

Speaking as a former child of a physically abusive dad, they are all cowards. After I turned 16 I got big enough I could stop the abuse. I'll never forget the look on my dads face when I told him, if you lay one hand on me, I will kill you, and I may not succeed, but you will be very messed up, I promise you. He never…

I grew up surrounded by Arabian horses. They eat cantaloupe and watermelon by first stomping them open with their hooves, then eat up the smaller pieces. It's fun to watch.

Making the grind less grueling could serve to bring some disenfranchised players back into the barn. Not me, I fucking hate this game - loved the first 3 weeks, then crashed and burned on this shite. Grinding no fun, give me good stories and gameplay and difficult but not impossible puzzles to solve any day over this…

Poor guy clearly missed the Towelie episode on Southpark. Gotta get your work/studies done first, THEN get high and play video games, or eat pussy, or whatever you like to do when high. Jk, if you’ve a real psych disease I’d recommend avoiding all illicits. Unless rx’d by your MD of course. In that case may the smoke…

Fuck that PF Changs manager. Fuck him with a baseball bat up the ass. I've worked tables in HS and college. Pretty much all my managers were smarmy talentless fucks like this one, ready to fire good people because some cock bite decides to throw a fit during their shift. These kind of asshole customers are why there…

Jesus dude, I don't care HOW many times you wash that motherfucker, that shits not gonna come off!

I just realized there's an easy fix to all of this. Take the lapel cams one step further and require all LEOs to walk around wired like the marines in Aliens. Concerned citizens could pull up the feed on their iPads and make sure the kind of people who would shoot unarmed harmless citizens in the back never get the…
