[ecstatic]

4. I was going to say wow

but the first two responses already said that! Whoa! That's some really heavy stuff there. I feel so lucky to have dodged those types of interactions.

[Achilleaze]

5. Wow

I've seen this pattern as well.

6. I watched pretty closely and didn't see any tears on his cheeks.

n/t

[solara]

8. No tears /on/ Kavanaugh's cheeks because

he fought hard to keep them at bay...he snuffled and sniffed them back so we could imagine them even though we couldn't see them and we watched in disgust as he kept poking his lying tongue /in/ his cheek instead (unconscious/subliminal message?)

[pdsimdars]

7. An angry, weepy drunk

9. Graham said that she was almost as much a victim as Kav is

Graham said that she was almost as much a victim as Kav is.

10. talk about being triggered

memory flashes.

A disembodied scream coming from somewhere....oh, that's me.
Me snapping to attention after the beating stopped, as he sat on the floor with his head in my lap crying.
My face bloodied, my pants wet because I lost my bladder during the beating.
Getting up from the chair very cool and collected telling him I need to clean myself up. It's OK, I just need to clean myself up.
Walking out the front door and hoping he doesn't follow.

My parents coming to the hospital to pick me up, walking right past me because he beat me so bad they didn't recognize me.

13. Oh dear. That is horrible.

I am so sorry.

I was pushed through a car window by my now ex but then husband. The back of my arm was split open really deep above the elbow and I bled all the way up the driveway as I ran from him. He then took me to the hospital. I was alone with him and had no family in the entire state. It was horrific. I was so young and naive. I didn’t know about domestic abuse. It was several years before I could leave him and he tried to kill me when I left.

14. Hugs

hold strong sister

[CottonBear]

16. Thank you. 🙏

[renate]

18. Oh I am so sorry....

That is absolutely shattering.

I am so sorry you endured that and so glad you survived.

How are you now?

[recentevents]

21. Like most survivors

This week has been rough. The last 2 years have been trying. But it all seems to be coming to a head. Our pain being our source of strength to push for better leaders and stop the acceptance of treating women as second class.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. Yes. I was sucked in by a psychopathic guy long time ago.

He enjoyed faking people out. If it involved faking tears, so much the better.

Repulsive.

[Cha]

12. Yes, poor poor widdle kavanaugh..

Thank You, Ellen Barkin

[FailureToCommunicate]

15. "Deny, attack, become the victim...cry if you are able."

That was Kavanaugh's performance today. Disgusting.
Even more so, that Republicans are saying to millions of victims: "We just don't give a damn"

[Separation]

17. %100 fact

19. I can identify...

My frat boy x would do the same thing, cry like a baby and apologize and beg after I'd had enough and threaten to leave. Watching this whole thing was like walking down memory lane. It has made me gut sick. I've known too many Brett Kavanaugh's. This whole episode should have every Greek, frat boy, entitled white privileged male that ever engaged in that kind of behavior quaking in their boots. Instant Karma's going to get you...
