Social Science - 17 May 2007

I am currently a recovering 19 year old child of an alcoholic. My dad has been sober now for about 5 months. Though he is sober now, I am having difficulty in my own recovery. I experienced 5 years of abuse whenever he was drunk at home and I have put up some various roles such as the hero in the family.
For two years now, my attemps of having intimate relationships always fail. People always label me as "different". Hence I resulted to isolation. Rejection just hurts too much.

I hope someone similar to me, can relate and maybe join me in a long and difficult recovery.

A college professor (or so he said) came in today and told one of my staff members that he gave poor directions on the phone because of being left-handed. I have had other lefties work for me in the past; some have had their quirks and one used it as an excuse, but is there any science to lefties having a mental deficit? I don't think so, but now I'm curious.

Before that we were just friends. He moved into my house as an 18 year old. He was just a boarder. Paid his share of the rent, and did his share of household chores.

Then we moved to Toronto together, again only as roommates. But apparently he had fantasies. And he chased me, and wore me down.

He would continuously declare his love for me, and how he wanted more, and how our friendship was so fantastic, that a relationship would be better.

I caved in, I'm still happy. But sometimes the age difference scares me!

Now he wants to get married. How long should I make him wait? I told him if he feels the same way at 25, then I would, is that reasonable? I am in love with him, but so much so, I could give him up, I am hoping by the time he's 25 he'll see the age difference and move on. I can't push him away, I'm hoping he grows away. He is completely aware that I cannot, and would not have or raise any more children.

Soemtimes I mention proudly to my husband or mother that I was considering doing something (like send a message to an ex boyfriend who I happened to find online at Myspace) but in the end I resisted the urge and did nothing. Instead of "good for you" or "wise decision" all I get are groans implying, "I can't believe you even considered it, what a loser." Isn't it better to admit the truth and overcome your first irrational instinct than to pretend I never felt or thought anything? Or are these people in my life just unsupportive, negative, and hurtful? What should I say in order to exhibit my psychological growth for their satisfaction, some of my only accomplishments in life, which would otherwise go unnoticed?

example: WHY is there a wage GAP between men and women?
Despite what anti feminists claim, that this is illegal and it cannot possibly be happening, we have rampant examples of it happening ALL the time. Especially by misogynists who can't stand the fact that women may have some advantages in society to raise their families. No wonder there is such a high level of poverty among women and children when you have people with this selfish mentality

_______________________________________________

It makes me laugh that some of us have been so brainwashed we actually believe this rubbish.

At the end of the day, be a man, we love women, but you dont have to suck up to them to be a decent bloke.

Id like to hear your views on why some men on this site suck up to the feminists, perhaps some sort of freudian mother pleasing thing??

Advise please
