Want to know how little control we have over the circumstances of our lives? Yesterday I was sick, at home, with an internet connection that wasn’t working and, later in the day, a telephone that didn’t work.
And there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about any of it, so there was no real point in getting angry about it either.
Pin The headline is something I’ve been reminding myself of over the last few weeks. You see, back about a month ago, my father fell extremely ill and was hospitalized. I chose to not travel across the country to see him because I had other things going on, work, dental surgery, etc. But I stayed in…

I Think i been abused by my dad verbally, emotionally, and pshyically. He’d punch me and grab my throat and throw me to the floor or ground almost all the time. They(my parents) Always told me i wasn’t getting abused and they told me to not tell anyone EVER what goes on in the house. I never understood.
