I haven't read that in my studies but that doesn't mean it's not true. the brain truly is a remarkable thing but trauma has different impacts on different people. she told me I was the first person she told about her sexual abuse. it hurts my heart.

@Beth that doesn't make it worth shrugging off though. I believe the only way you will ever have closure is to address the situation. 1) you potentially protect other people by letting it be known and 2) you can seek the methods of recovery. This topic interestingly enough made me recall a relationship I had in my younger days. my girlfriend would have me force myself onto her whilst she fought me off as if she was being targeted. I thought it was weird at first until we started getting serious in the relationship. her dad raped her on a daily basis and she was playing out his sick twisted fantasy because that was the norm for her. I couldn't allow it to happen anymore and I seemed help out for her while by her side. we broke up later because she felt I was trying to pressure her to get help but I only wanted what was best for her.

some people are into butt stuff...i on the other hand prefer an underhanded grab.

so my question is...and I know you're either a affected by this comment or b sensitive about the comment . both of which are okay. it all goes hand in hand. if people are diagnosed with diabetes and don't take the actions to resolve the issue. some people will lose their eyesight regardless of whether they address the diabetes or not. would it make you upset if the person who lost their eyesight was making the joke? or are you upset because of another reason?

e.g. the woman who ran across the baseball fields grabbing the baseball players asses...even though they were all laughing about it...its still sexual harassment and if it were a guy doing it to a women's softball team then he would be in a world of trouble. I hate the double standard of cases like that...its not good for male or female be respectful of others privacy and if you rape then you should have your genitalia removed.

I would have to agree with Celtic I did a small research project on rape and the ulterior motives behind them. most rapists view on committing the action was being in control of the situation...most rapists don't care if they cause psychological/physical damage it's the fact that they control the outcome.

that comment hits the wrong hole for some people.

I typically understand most of your comments and I agree with most of them but I don't feel like you hit your mark that you normally do...although I get what you're saying it just seems like you were all over the place...

it depends on the situation...if she has three kids and pawns her children off on other people for her to stay out all hours of the night well then...thats a different story.

lol it's funny that you say that because I work for the usps and i have seen some severely "hackysacked" packages.

and not every person gets a tattoo because they are trying to "cover" up a problem. I have quite a large portion of my body covered and they are not because of problems I had. it was a time in my life that I connected with and a visual memory is something that helps me remember it. I have my mother's name tattoed on me because she's near to my heart. that's not a problem. I think your idea of tattoos are different because you have a different way of expressing yourself. which is fine. you don't bash mine and I don't bash yours...fair enough?

both are fine. alot of memes are based off the us version

man I'm going through this right now...shitty part about it I have had my daughter for over a year I'm still paying child support mom is still blowing my money and hasn't offered one single done to cover costs for my daughter.

it would be shitbif some members of the jury have had a bad experience with you or if you worked at a bank and co hldnt reverse their overdraft fee because they were too stupid to not spend money they don't have. there is more to a jury then knowing the law...the public is incompetent and shouldn't be allowed to make decisions like that
