...and they live to talk about it, how people try to deny their experiences?

They do this by saying things like, "Now you have an opportunity to be a good parent to make up for it!" (puts the burden on the abused to make up for it)

Or they immediately talk about how well their mother cared for them.

Or they apologize, *then* talk about how they were loved.

Anything but have to actually deal with the reality that some mothers are very, very bad--even evil.

When the child becomes adult, people directly or indirectly blame the abused/neglected child itself for somehow being bad, bringing it on, making excuses for the mother.

This is just a note to let all of you know: Not only is doing this not helpful, it is, in fact, counter-productive to building a healthy society.

Being abandoned by a mother creates immense challenges to survival. The overall impact of such a loss needs to be taken more seriously.

Winning answer=either most shallow or most enlightened. May it be the latter!

He still continues to pee on her, but she had always been the only one. Today someone came to the house and while standing in the foyer he peed on him.
He is a 1 year old black lab.

I have been playing a lot of MAME games lately, and I was thinking that there's absolutely no arcades around my city, except the one at the mall. So I'm thinking about opening an arcade up when I'm older. Much older. What do I need to know when doing this? By the way, it's in FL,

My 1995 Nissan Maxima has been giving me some issues the past couple days with stalling and struggling to accelerate and hard to turn, as if it is trying to stall out. I took it to the mechanic and they were not able to come up with a solution other than fuel filter, air filter, all 6 spark plugs, dry gas, etc... I took it home and the next day its not stalling, but it is still giving me a hard time with accelerating, going as high as 3500/rpm as I try to accelerate to 60 mph. I am planning on driving my car 1300+ miles to Florida, and would prefer to not buy a new car. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

My aunt to which I am very close to is pregnant again, except this time with twins! She and my uncle already have three girls, Lily, age 5, Annabelle (Annie), age 3, and Shiloh, who turned one in May! This time, it's a girl and a boy! They are thrilled! So far, they really like the name Zoë for a girl and James for a boy. James is after her grandfather who just recently passed away. He would go by Jack, though. So what do you think of Zoë and Jack? She likes Zoë Trinity so far. What do you think of them and what middle names do you like to go with them? Thanks!

This is what I want to do with the rest of my life...I want to first off collect bibles, collect toiletries, personal items, toilet paper etc.... and give to the churches or just to give to people I see in need, in all the states I can for people who need them... No I can't make it to everyone in need, but I can help when I see a family or person in need.
But first off no one wants to donate items...I have asked the big and small companies but they have their own charities they give too.... Does anyone know of anyone or any company to help me? 2nd I have no large vehicle to travel in and sleep in. You might say this is too big a dream, no I don't think so, I am 49 and want to help while I can. If anyone would like to donate my mailbox # is Dianne Smith

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-coloured blossoms of a laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flamelike as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid, jade-faced painters of Tokyo who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion. The sullen murmur of the bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass, or circling with monotonous insistence round the dusty gilt horns of the straggling woodbine, seemed to make the stillness more oppressive. The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ.

In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty, and in front of it, some little distance away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused, at the time, such public excitement and gave rise to so many strange conjectures.
As the painter looked at the gracious and comely form he had so skilfully mirrored in his art, a smile of pleasure passed across his face, and seemed about to linger there. But he suddenly started up, and closing his eyes, placed his fingers upon the lids, as though he sought to imprison within his brain some curious dream from which he feared he might awake.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? a
Thou art more lovely and more temperate: b
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a
And summer's lease hath all too short a date: b

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, c
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; d
And every fair from fair sometime declines, c
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd; d
But thy eternal summer shall not fade e
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; f
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, e
When in eternal lines to time thou growest: f

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, g
So long lives this and this gives life to thee. g

there is enough im sure to warrant the warning they put about phenalokurics or whatever it is, so that must mean something right?

have there been any studies to show any carcinogenic qualities? i would think its not that good for your stomach just because sweet and low was proven to be bad aspartame (or so i think)

bottom line sugarfree gum, you can chew it, tastes good, cleans your teeth, TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?!

I'm pregnant again with my 3rd child. My first two are twins, Jack and Lily, but they are really popular names and i want to go with something that has more classic beauty. I don't like names like destiny, angel, faith or hope. I also don't like names like Candi or Jenna or Shanae. I just want some classic, sophisticated names. So far i like ones like Isabelle Eve and Allie Rose for girls. For boys i like Theodore Jude and William Rhys. Does anyone know some REALLY GREAT NAMES? thank you so much

It feels like everything is my fault and it hurts so bad that i cry every single day. My husband doesnt understand me at all and even though i try talking with him about whats bothering me or how im feeling he still doesnt take time out to communicate with me. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant with his child and Im going through many changes and dealing with mood swings and everything concering. I feel by myself in this pregnancy even though i have a husband and when i tell him this he just says nothing and i feel ignored. I wake up very upset and scared that he will leave me any day. Back in january or february he was about to leave me and then we found out i was pregnant then he changed his mind and stayed with me i guess. I cant talk to him about nothing so thats why i have to come online and talk to complete strangers about my problems because either he wont listen or just say im blowing things out of porportune.(word not spelled right.) Im just frustrated and he dont even know :(

Why does anyone care about OBL or his video, He declared war on us, I think the guy has fought the best fight he could, I think he should get our reply at about 2,580 fps, the message weighs a mere 150 grains.

Did Americans sit around during WW2 and ponder well who would Hirohito vote for?
