    Do the elections matter to the individual? Well, thanks to President Obama, the democrats, and Obamacare, I just lost a $1500.00 a year medical benefit. So when you go to the polls in November, and you are getting ready to vote, take a minute and think? I could be next.

    Emerg Services Confusion Over The Hate Of Police By Some Veterans?

    I agree that lives matter, and I am not attempting to justify bad shootings by cops. However we need to not be so quick to automatically think a cop is a racist, or a murderer, or evil person because they shot someone. Many of the police related shootings are the result of having to make a split...

    Emerg Services Confusion Over The Hate Of Police By Some Veterans?

    I personally do not like what he is doing. I think, as an American citizen, he should respect the ideals this country stands for, and recognize that no organization is perfect, and never will be. Having said that I am a strong advocate for the right of free speech, and that includes not standing...

    Financial Rape

    all you need to do is transfer the money that is in your account to another account, then close the one he has access to. Otherwise keep it open, contact the FBI on what he is trying to do. Then when he transfers the money, they can work with the german government to get him on fraud.

    Childhood If You Were Big/strong/powerful Enough To Hit Your Abuser Back, Would You Have?

    I was not physically abused, at least to the point of all of you, so my answer may be more philosophical that practical. First I would say that if the act of striking your abuser is directly related to self-defense at the time they were abusing you, that is one thing. However if it is an act of...

    Childhood If You Were Big/strong/powerful Enough To Hit Your Abuser Back, Would You Have?

    I don' think so, because then you would be dealing with the guilt, not to mention the legal consequences of that action. I do not think you would have been doing yourself a favor by killing her.

    When A Narcissist Is 'good'

    I would say that Narcissism is never good. As you stated he has financially supported them all their lives. If needed could they support themselves, or has he made them so dependent on him that it continues to feed his ego? If this is the case, then even supporting them is all about him.

    Dogs can be great therapist. They listen attentively, especially if you scratch their ears while you talk, and they never criticize you. A dog can never offer advice, but they offer loads of love and acceptance. As you know Snow, I am always in your corner.

    When someone quotes scripture here is one they never seem to mention. It is found in Ephesians 5:25 Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her. Then ask them if an abusive husband is loving his wife he way Christ loves the church?

    So often we think if we don't report something then we cause others to be in danger, or suffer. The truth is, even if we report things there is no guarantee the police will do anything, so don't blame yourself if others get hurt.
