No kidding? This just proves that they don't think violence against women is a big deal.

That friend is a keeper. Any friend who will come into your house & clean up shit without being asked is a friend for life.

Well, at least you didn't shit your pants while on the stage? It's much more classy to vomit on a stage than to shit your pants!

This isn't a terrible poop story, but kind of funny. Our family was vacationing at our cabin one summer. Our cabin was on a lake & surrounded by woods. So one night my sister & I snuck out because we were bored. We got outside when my sister had to drop a deuce. So she did. We thought it was a good distance away from…

Well said. Thank you.

I live in texas & I have a 19 year old daughter. She recently had to use Plan B because she screwed up her regular birth control pills. When she went to the pharmacy & asked where the Plan B was the pharmacist or pharmacy tech was really shitty to her & said he didn't know where it was or if they had it in stock. So…

Ok, well i apologize if you felt that I was attacking you. That wasn't my intention. I have two daughters, one is a teen & I know it is scary to think of your daughter being abused, living under your roof & you have no idea. I misunderstood your comment & thought that you were criticizing the father for not knowing…

Thank you. It happened over twenty years ago. I am now married & have two daughters. I have been open with them about my experience & have educated them about abusive relationships. I feel that I am good at spotting abusers, but I still fear for my daughters. I wasn't someone who anyone would have ever assumed would…

I'll bet that her dad had no idea his daughter was being abused. By the time he found out, if he ever did, it had been going on for awhile. I was in an abusive relationship as a teenager & I had a loving & protective father. I was with my boyfriend for two years before any physical abuse occurred. Before the…

I am so sorry for the comments by ignorant people. Too many people are ignorant of the reality of abuse & think they are somehow immune & that it would never happen to them. They are dead wrong. Strong people with loving families become victims of abuse. Abusive relationships start out just as any other…

I think he was facing charges for past incidents of abuse & he thought killing her would make the charges go away. Her cousin commented about it in another thread.

Thank you for coming here to comment & share with us. I was in an abusive relationship when I was 17 & I know how complex these relationships are & I know the power that abusers have over their victims, especially when they're a teenager. I had a protective order against my abuser & he was so good at convincing me to…

Teenage girls often mistake the intensity of abusive relationships for love. Abusers are extremely intense & charming. And abusive relationships are filled with drama & emotions, which is often mistaken as love by teenagers.

I don't think anyone recommends staying in an abusive relationship. People are just trying to make people understand the reality of domestic violence. Victims know their abuser better than anyone. They know exactly what they're capable of. Victims sometimes have to make a choice between putting up with being knocked…

Remember the Florida woman who left her abuser recently? She got a protective order. She left. He came back, violated the protective order. She fired warning shots at him & she's in prison for doing so.

It depends on how long someone's been in a relationship & whether they are married & have kids or live together. There are many factors that determine whether someone is at risk of being killed if they leave. That's why it's important to teach people how to identify abuse. Most people can't identify it in the…

Thank you. The first incidence of physical abuse in my relationship happened when my boyfriend & I got into an argument in his car. We got out of the car & were in a parking lot. He picked me up & put me in a dumpster. I didn't know what to think, he had never physically hurt me before. The emotional manipulation had…

Agreed. It's very easy for those on the outside to criticize a victim & simplify the situation. Abusive relationships are complex & victims of abuse are not idiots. Abusers wait a long time before showing their abusive side. By the time the physical abuse begins, the emotional abuse has been going on a long time. The…

That's not always the case. Abusers thrive on control. When their significant other stays in the relationship they still feel in control & are less likely to kill. When their significant other leaves they lose control & kill. A victim of abuse is always in danger of physical harm when in the relationship, but they…

Classic abuser behavior. They ALWAYS feel that they are the victim. And the abusers that I've had personal experience with sincerely believe that they really are the victim. That's what makes dealing with abusers so difficult, they see themselves as the victim & logic & reason don't reach these people. Trying to…
