Super proud of my mom and sis. There are days when I dont understand whats up with people in the world. My sis had to leave her home and all her belongings behind to escape the psycho she was married to so he wouldnt kill her for wanting a divorce, and my mama (who has lived with one foot in poverty and the other surviving paycheck-to-paycheck) has an asshole of a man screaming at her and telling her shes a shitbag every other day who refuses to get out - while she struggles to pay all the bills, the mortgage and now a lawyer to get him the hell out of HER house ... Both my mom and sis have taken control of their lives under fear for their own lives, which takes incredible courage and years of working up the nerve. Watching them struggle has been difficult, and I do everything I can to help ... but such behavior ... I cant understand it. It should never come to this. You should never, ever FEAR the person closest to you. EVER. WHY in this day and age is it acceptable to be abusive towards others? Dont get me wrong - I know all men are not like this, and my husband is a shining example of the gentlest, most beautiful soul Ive ever met. Ive also had a lot of male friends who had equally shitbaggy, abusive women in their lives. Theres an epidemic of shitbagginess in our society and even worse - our society seems to TOLERATE violence, selfishness and general lack of regard for others. As a compassionate (if absent minded and deeply flawed human), Ive faced my own struggles over the years, made a ton of mistakes/poor decisions - but it never, ever crossed my mind to threaten, harass, physically abuse or otherwise try to make someone else suffer let alone make them feel like their lives are in danger simply by being around me or not behaving how I want them to. NEVER. Because ... its WRONG. Yet there are people who thrive on this type of behavior ... Anyone who preys on the weak, the uneducated, the innocent, the poor, the desperate, children ... they are WRONG. They probably need help, because this type of behavior would seem to indicate some sort of mental/emotional problem, but I wont pretend to be a good enough person to excuse them for hurting others because of whatever their issues may be. I will, however, leave karma/god/the universe to take care of them. Theres no doubt in my mind that theyre going to reap what they sow and when they do, my mama, sis, hubby and I are going to be together, sitting blissfully on a beach somewhere, happy and stronger for having survived the shitbags.
