Re: Hu nu?
I was going to check whether hamsters were rodents, but then I realized that they are prey, and that's all that counts, really.

Daisy's relationship might be worthwhile
Prudie, I think you were uncharacteristically judgmental in your response to Daisy Buchanan. Keep in mind that the original Daisy Buchanan would never have written such a letter. This “Daisy” at least sees her boyfriend’s flaws and is introspective enough to worry about her own motivations. Her relationship with her stoner boyfriend clearly isn’t ...

When evil enters your home
I read your story and re-read it because the thought of witches never entered my head. Evil children? I have an 11 year old little girl, that has sexually abused other children (younger than her), and has attempted to abuse numerous other children. Where does that evil come from? Would she be considered a 'witch' in another century or even this ...

So What Did YOU Do to Make Him Do That?
My soon to be ex-husband wrapped his hands around my neck about 2 years ago, cutting off my air, all the while screaming obscenities in my face. I managed to talk him off me before I passed out. I had nowhere to go. I stayed. Then he threatened me in a voicemail on my cell phone. I threw him out and told my family. They made it clear that they ...

As Vicitm of abuse I was appalled by the writer's attitude
As a victim of emotional, psychological, financial abuse I was appalled at the writer's attitude toward victims of abuse. To question why they stay with their abusers can be answered by numerous books and articles or a visit to a domestic violence clinic or perhaps getting some pcychotherapy herself to understand why she would vicitmize a woman ...

Why do Men continue to stay with women that abuse them?
My son continues to remain in a relationship where the woman he is with is ok maybe 40% of the time, however the other 60% is subject to insanity. Their 2nd child is due this summer, but don't even think about blaming her craziness on the hormones. She has long been on the edge of certifiable. I've heard her on more than one occassion say to ...

Why Women Stay In Abusive Relationships
I have been in an abusive relationship off and on for 9 years, I have left many times and then end up going back. I have thought and pondered for many hours, days and years, why? My father is abusive, he abused my mother until she divorced him, now he abuses my step-mother. As his daughter I have suffered such a loss of self esteem, and my half ...

Relationships
the real question is why do we always assume that the Woman is the Victim, and where is it written that relationships must be kind and loving? Each relationship is different and sometimes we have to ask what do the participants gain from the union......even in business this is not clear. So, why do we assume that this relationship (marriage) ...

"The Battered Woman" by Lenore Walker
Even though I am a psychologist, I became entangled in a very abusive relationship and marriage with a man who physically, verbally, emotionally, socially and financially abused me. When I nearly died from his abuse, I finally decided to wake up and do some research on the dynamics of such relationships and why women stay in or return to them. ...
