And it doesn't leave any marks. Smart people abuse other people that way. See, they can't get arrested if there's no physical abuse.

I have large chunks of my life that I have forgotten. Starting when I was young. And later too. I don't think it would be good to remember a lot of it. It's too painful to remember, those memories of being disrespected constantly and nagged and hassled for existing.

I just lead my life as best I can and think about the good things in my life now.
