    Newbies Nest

    It's all about degree Slay, if a man were to hit a woman publicly, even at half the force she used he would be ostracised. This is not fair either.
    There are men subjected to domestic violence also and the shame and stigma and fear is worse for them cos no one sympathises.

    You know I was in an extremely violent relationship and understand well how you are feeling BUT tolerating public aggression and suffering domestic violence are two very different things I believe.

    Domestic violence is about control and lack of respect. I was once told by a police officer that a man who hits you has no respect for you, whatever they claim.

    We live in a world where people pay to watch people hit each other, a world where parents still justify smacking their children.

    People can be and are violent Slay, you can only work to keep those type of people at arms length.

      Okay... so I am all for "lively discussion," but I want to restore some sense of security to The Nest. I was violently assaulted as a six-year-old, but Newbies Nest, in my opinion, is not the time or the place for such discussions. Let's take it outside.

      I love All of you in The Nest. :stop:

        Hey kuya, thanks for the reminder about honeysuckles moon. You are great at remembering those things. I did moon her over in roll call this Mornin and then left her a message in the nest that her moon was over there. Butt (haha) just to be on the safe side- here goes again!
        Honeysuckle has SEVEN DAYS. Woot!!!
        :moon:

                Evening all,
                Well my manager has thrown me under the bus for the last time. I put in for retirement on Friday. I will tell her on the 1st. I invited HR to the meeting just in case it gets ugly. i will get a whopping 150 a month in pension and that should keep me at the gym, a redhead and toes painted in the summer. Anything beats nothing I say...
                I feel good about my decision. Next year i can pick up another small pension from another job I had way back when. Hoping to get dads house rented so that will help too. DH is happy that i am finally leaving so we can travel a little while his health is good. And he is 16 years older than me so that is an issue too.
                I will be so happy to be rid of that toxic place and person...wooHoo

                    Well... I'm a little worried. Hubby went to visit his sis, and then he called to say he is bringing home spaghetti w/ meatballs... and Lambrusco wine. Okay, I hear the garage door. Yikes. Gotta go!!

                        Tess...remember my saying, No matter what and no matter who. The reason I put no matter WHO in there is just for husbands, bosses and other people who matter. But no matter WHO they are, NO is NO. Stick to your guns...there is a thread on here tonight about someone who blew a 20something day streak and just sick over it. It's NOT worth it...Protect your quit with all you've got!

                        Slay, are you OK?? Stay safe! Byrdie
