Please, serious answers only.

First of all, the abuser is long dead. Second I am seeking therapy.

My therapist suggested that I consider telling my parents what happened to me. I have not told them. It happened over 20 years ago, but it messed me up for a long time and it still hurts.
My husband thinks I should tell them because it might help me. I think that it will just make them feel guilty and upset. Let's be honest: there is nothing they can do about it now! Why make them share this pain?
My therapist says it helps some people a lot, but others not.
I will be honest though that I still resent them on some level for not protecting me when I was little, even though they were great parents and I know (rationally!) that they would have moved heaven and earth to help me had they known.

I have a great relationship with them.

Any thoughts could be help. Thank you.

I don't know very much about these gaming systems but will by purchasing one very soon for a Christmas gift.
Are PS2 games able to play on PS3? We like the guitar hero series and have one for the PS2, but if I buy PS3 will it work?
Also, need to decide between PS2 or 3 and an XBOX. What do you think?

I just had a unauthorized charge to my credit card because of a cooking item i ordered from a tv infomercial. I did order the gadget,but canceled a few hours later. I thought all was well,till i just checked my account balance. They took money out more then 2 months after i canceled. I have not received anything from them and didnt not want anything. What can i do? I used a debit card if that helps. It's Sunday,so no-one is answering their phone.I'll call tomorrow but hoping someone here had some advice.

All my motoring life - 40 years - I have been led to beleive that leaving the ignition turned on with the engine not running "burns the coil out". However, I now think I may have been badly informed.

My son will be 4 in January. I'm still having trouble getting him interrested in the toilet!!! He knows what "pee-pee"and "poo-poo" are and seems digusted when he sees them in his pull-ups or underwear. I'll sit him on his potty several times during the day for 30 minutes to an hour each day, but he WILL NOT try to go in it. The minute I let him get off his potty and put a pull-up or underwear on him, he GOES!! He won't even tell me when he needs to go. HELP PLEASE!!!

Here's a web site displaying pictures and captions of the 12 Signs of Fascism, with Rampant Sexism being one of the 12 signs: http://mvp-seattle.com/Pages/pageFascism.htm

Rampant Sexism is defined by this site as:
"Governments of fascist states tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Traditional gender roles are made even more rigid and exaggerated.

Condemnation of abortion and a virulent homophobia are commonly built into broad policy."

Which of the 12 Fascist signs do you see present in our society, and why do you think it is important?
