Unless and or until a person experiences intimate partner violence and abuse they DON'T get it no matter how many degrees hang on the wall behind the desk. My opinion for what it's worth.

Very good question

...build a time-travelling DeLorean ...jam with Tom Petty (RIP) ...have sex with Brad Pitt ...climb Erebus and Terror ...make the world a better one ...have selective memory ...be understood by someone

My Grandma is celebrating her 100th birthday in a few days and I am grateful for all that she donated to my genes, all she taught me about inner strength, courage, independence, survival, respect, loyalty, and love, lessons I have often both forgotten and been reminded of as I have aged. She was...

I think this is a really great thread! "When one burns one's bridges, What a very nice fire it makes." - Dylan Thomas

@DharmaGirl - glad to know I wasn't the only one who couldn't finish 1Q84! Did you like The Revenant? I was pretty disappointed by the film, but generally am with book-movie adaptations. Have good day :)

That's nice of you to say :) Thank you We think alike you and I...living like we do is hard and awful! It takes a hell of a toll on a person and every day we get up and turtle forward is a great one. I stopped living when this disorder caught up to me, and for many long, dark months, I tried...

Absolute #1 favourite - The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas - the finest and best tale of betrayal and revenge ever...IMHO :)

Grateful that I had a drunk tank story to swap with an old man I met yesterday who had just been let go & had pushed his walker to a bench along my path. He was disoriented, hungover and lonely; I had become unglued after reading a forum post & was on a mission to blow off steam. We sat there...

I am triggering so bad right now...I swear someday I'm going to go Dirty Harry on every man I meet walking out of the courtroom with a f*cking smile on his face, side-by-side with his court appointed lawyer.

I don't know if this is the right forum in which to submit this post but here it goes... Today, I am going to the detachment to say farewell to one of the RCMP members and in just a few weeks down the road, I will be saying bon chance and adieu to another. Both had a role in saving my life...

300 MPH Torrential Outpour Blues :(

Wikipedia has very extensive information about anti-despressants which may be helpful...food for thought :)

I totally get where you are all coming from on this one! The only times I am ever anger-free and completely at peace with the world and myself is when I am out in the bush with my dogs or sitting at the winow seat watching the birds and ChipnDale, the resident squirrel. I am a bush bunny and...

From the get-go, I refused meds but THEY just kept pummeling & pushing drugs at me, so I had a difficult struggle on the question of meds or no meds and thought I'd throw my two cents in...I think if you want to try meds, you should be as infomed as possible about the pharmaceutical options...

Thank you for the good luck vibes @Berlinda!

Today, for the first time in nearly two years I'm leaving my safe and secure, hermitage, alone, to interact with complete strangers in an environment foreign to me I am grateful for Xanax!

Sunrise, winter, rural, mountains, bright colours, cold, xtra strong black coffee, single malt scotch... Revenge or Justice?

Tight-laced boots, steel-toes, miled-out; supple, brushed, oiled; being grounded, connected and silent. Ephemeral draws in flood, steep sloped ravine; wind blows and widow makers. Pieces of hate expelled with each footfall, each exhalation. Wild berries, red, blue, purple. Bees and...

"The Gun" which is an un-put-downable Pulitzer Prize winning history of the AK-47 and how the assault rifle changed the world; "The Revenant", after which I watched the film and am still still shaking my head over it; Marukami's "1Q84" which I gave up on after 600 pages; and a biography of...

Wow! That diploma you found in the Cracker Jacks sure looks nice in its frame.

Hello I Knew - I know what it is like to feel that way.

F*ck your Manchurian Candidate EMDR, and your cognitive and behaviour adjustment therapy. F*ck you and your touching a piece of velvet when I'm stressed and your issues with my anger. Take your "find my new normal" and stick it where I don't have to hear it - this is my new normal. F*ck the...

Permanent wound cavity

Just finished the 5th book in The Millenium Series "The Girl Who Took an Eye for an Eye" and am slowly working through another damn book on anger management but kinda makes me want to punch the author in the face. Its great to know there are still people out there who read books!
