Thirded.

Amen. I can't do anything to change my past, but if anyone ever did anything to harm a child in my life, or in my presence, I'd righteously fuck their shit up.

I wish I could have your sense of justice/peace. You sound really well adjusted, and I mean that as a compliment. I've never been able to forgive my abuser. At this point, there's nothing I can do, except hope that he gets what's coming to him, and try to stay far, far away from him so that I don't ever have to see…

I can see what your saying, but in my experience, most of the time they just want it stop. Whatever that means - however that happens. It could be running away, revenge murder, threats, cops, or trauma induced amnesia. I'm not sure how much love is left when someone rips away your childhood and violates you like that.…

As a child I experienced traumatic sexual assault. If my Step-dad had (or did, because he still doesn't) know, he'd have killed him too. And I would have been so bloody thankful. I don't think the dad did anything wrong, and I feel so bad for the guilt he must be feeling. I don't agree with murder, but there are some…

It's horrible, but after Nick Jonas' stint on SMASH, I have to admit I had a teeny tiny cougar crush on him. (I'm 25...)

Ha! I see what you did there, and now it gives a whole new level of funny (and creepy) to the "Fucking Brian's coming!" phrase. Dirty....

Regarding the sequel - it doesn't feel like the same series because it isn't. There are a couple books that do detail world war one, but they involve her children (Rilla of Ingleside, I beleive, maybe the one before too).

I never thought I'd get married, but if a guy proposed to me with that, I would so get married. TARDIS ring is amazing.

I'm sl glad you're doing better! and I'm really glad your cat was there. I wouldn't give up my evil little guy for anything.

That's what my cat does! He's always like "Crying is for losers! crushing one's enemy into the dust is for winners! Toughen up and slay thy foe!" I look at him as my miniature General of Discord. If you're sad, his goal is to make you wreak havoc.

God, that sucks.

I'm with you - I think he had good intentions, but they didn't come off quite in the way it should have, but I'm glad the boy is at least trying. I just want to make him watch the Vlogbrothers to get a view on people who are nice guys, who are aware of patriarchy and who know how to communicate with girls and women…

hearted. Especially the talking "at" part. srsly.

I can see both sides of the argument, but yeah, I agree with you - I mean, E for effort at least.

That would actually have been an amusing sign, and I might have mind hi-fived him for it, but that's not what it was. The problem is that patriarchy is internalized by both men and women, and men, especially guys who are generally pretty nice, tend to fall into the "protect the poor women and give them the information…

Well that's pretty open ended. Throw out some suggestions and I'll see if I can give you the Ladytalk meaning.

Yeah it's waaaay too harlequin for me. It just makes me want to vomit, as someone who has survived abuse of that nature.

You are my hero - I have yet to start - I just moved into a building with a balcony (seventh floor south facing, weeeeee!) and my momma is going to give me some herb planters to start, but everything else I'm kind of just going "YEAH!.....um how?" so do not be disturbed if you recieve a lot of PMs....

You've made my life so much better today. I might weep with joy.
