I understand. We all need a hand when things go horribly wrong.

Another overlooked form of abuse is Passive-Aggressive Behavior that seems to be everywhere.

We accept it because it's usually so understated that we don't see the danger signs until the additional damage is done.

This ... Passive-Aggressive Behavior can drive a wedge between us and any new support that we've managed to gather.
IMO: It's usually because the P-A is jealous, afraid to share our friendship, therefore the P-A becomes controlling.
Causing a downward spiral, toward the end ... leaving wreckage ... broken marriages ... lost friends ... damage beyond repair to us.

That is your perception of my words.

Anyone who knows me knows differently.
I am one of the least prejudiced individuals I know.
You have never gotten to know me yet you suggest that I might be hissed at.
I do not dress or wear makeup in a manner to offend anyone as you have suggested.


depending on how you behaved and dressed the worst you might get is hissed at.

please don't contribute to more bigotry and fear by implying these people might be violent. wow.


Please stop trying to insult or embarrass me, Kali. It won't work.

About In_The_Wind

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieve it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~~~~~~~~~ For, it ends in the blink of an eye. Carpe Diem (Seize the day)!
