I've said it before, I'll say it again: you have a shitty family. But, the fact that you can recognize these things as problems, as unacceptable, rather than just a part of life, is what defines you as sane. You are not crazy, and you are not alone.

What the fuck man. You're still a kid (to me) and this stuff was going on in the last 20 years? I'm lost for polite words. Redchuck.gif ГенгисpillagingModerator 07:54, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

By jove, that's absolutely horrific! Anybody who thinks that this exemplifies "model parenting" or even resembles not-so-model parenting is out of their fucking minds!!! The kind of shit your parents pulled and (I think) are still pulling is maddness. Plain and simple madness. I'm so sorry you ever had to put up with this horrific abuse.

The similarities I see in this article to the stories of other people I know who have suffered abuse chill me. It's so easy to pin abuse down to 'oh, that's just one bad person, an individual case.' When it's not. It's really not. And sharing the experience like this is the only way to make that known. ±Knightoftldrsig.pngKnightOfTL;DRgoing galt: the literal crazy train 14:48, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
