I hate men

[rikoura06]

Before you start to read this journal, just beware that this is based on real events, even though I got a bit dramatic and wrote it in story form. And to any men out there who have the misfortune of seeing this, I think the title gives it away, so you may want to skip on...

I wrote this all in one go, just because I needed to vent my thoughts, so if

Brava! Well said, and I agree with you completely!
It's interesting when you finally reach a point when you can fight back and they see that they are losing their power. Physical intimidation and threats will only reach so far, and every woman deserves better.

That's not bad - two people agree with me so far! XP Who else can we recruit now?

I was suprised myself when it happened. I've always been the 'good girl', doing everything I'm told (more or less) and always trying to please my parents. But then I just kinda snapped, I mean, how dare either of them hurt us like that? What right did they have when we had done nothing wrong? *sigh*

He only threatens people when they talk back at him, or have a 'tone' or a 'face' he doesn't like. Anything can set him off. I've learnt the past couple of years to just stay calm throughout whatever he's ranting at me instead of rising to his level...

Like I said to Kitashi, you have to understand that I love my Dad - he's a wonderful person normally, but when he's like that he's just like the Incredible Hulk...except, more red than green, lol.

Agh, sorry for rambling! And thank you for reading my journal *hugs*

*hugs back* And don't worry I understand. My dad was the same with me as a kid, and when I was a teenager I finally got enough guts to stand up to him, he in turn eventually kicked me out of home. So that in itself makes him look like a horrible person, but being older and knowing more about him as I do know, I understand him more, and I still love him as well. I don't condone what he's done, but I understand better from his perspective, nonetheless, I still don't believe that anyone should have to "act" around someone for fear of what they will do. If he was your partner, that would be domestic violence. And now I am rambling lol. In short I understand lol.

That really doesn't seem fair, though if it was his house, then I suppose he did have the right. Still, kicking you out wasn't a bit extreme was it? I mean, you probably had a reason for standing up to him, right?

Yeah, acting isn't my strong suit either! But I understand what you mean.

Rambling is good for the soul XP Don't worry about it!

In total agreement! Very well said dear, I must say, and very well written. It is sad that such a thing must happen though...

Thanks Kate. *sigh* I just started re-reading it just now, and it sounded so theatrical! XP It started out as just me writing down my feelings, but then it turned into a story-style of writing...

Very sad. And I know that I've been very lucky with my family. Some people I know, haven't been.

And you have to know that I love my Dad - he's really a wonderful person. It's just when he gets upset, he's a lot like the Incredible Hulk - he just changes completely and just starts shouting and threatening...

Thanks for listening though :) I had a feeling you would *hugs*
