Let's say your daughter rushed into an ill-advised marriage with an abusive man |
|
You talked and you talked..and you begged an you protested, but she eloped anyway.
From day one he beat her up, refused to work, and shamed YOU into supporting them.
You sign the checks and threaten to pull the plug, but you do not go there and bring your daughter home.
You remind her that "now that she's there" you'll help to support her, but she "volunteered" to "go there" and she should want that marriage to "succeed".

3. "she should want that marriage to "succeed". ??????? |
|
Bullshit. He'll wind up killing her.
Those type of men never "Get Better" on their own. They need strong Physiological help...which most refuse to get..
In Short..She's Fucked if she stays with that MotherF****er.

4. Interesting analogy. First of all, I couldn't have been SHAMED into |
|
supporting them! The rest of your premise is irrelevant.

7. And now I feel like a total ASS.. This was meant as a metaphor |
|
for Iraq and our congress (as parent).. but a :sarcasm: did not seem relevant..
I never meant for it to go where it has..
sorry:cry:
ps. I came from an abusive home, so I guess I just see the parallel very acutely :)

Denial is a big part.
The addiction black & white thinking grandiosity arrogance "my way or the highway" denial abuse excuses blame (of others) irresponsibility

15. What a really good analogy. Thanks. |
|
My family has been doing it for years now.
This is a truly abusive relationship we have now.
Bush and his cronies have to be removed or this country we all still want to believe in, is lost.
