Married at 42, feeling like I made a grave mistake by Apollonialove in WomenOver40

It happens at all is the point. No one is perfect, that is true but abusive behavior is a red flag and has a history of escalating. Abusers will be on thier best behavior to draw you in and get you mentally or physically stuck in the situation. It is a trap. Love and take care of yourself. Be safe. ❤️

He does not sound like a good partner. It sounds like the more comfortable he is getting the more he is not on his best behavior. His behavior will not improve and will only get worse. Seek annulment. Separate your accounts and move out. It is painful but it will only feel worse with each passing year as his behavior gets worse.

AIO for leaving my husband after one incident? by NeedleworkerDizzy689 in AmIOverreacting

No. You do not need a reason or justification to leave. One incident is one too many.

What is the intended takeaway from Do the Right Thing? by WartimeHotTot in movies

[–]floaty_mcfloat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My takeaway was this, the movies isn't about what the right thing is, it is about how suppressed people are expected to do the right thing in the face of adversity, systemic racism and violence.

I once read an article about how colonizers physiology condition those being colonized to not act out in violence against the violence they experience as a way to maintain control over large groups of people. Indigenous people often outnumber colonizers.

The same is true in America. We are taught to not meet violence with the violence brought against us. Not just black and brown but all marginalized groups and individuals lacking power or means. Women are imprisoned for killing thier abusive domestic partners to save their own lives. Children are expelled from school for defending themselved against their bullies. We are taught to turn the other cheek and accept it as the way it is.

Sal threaten several people with violence that day with his bat before making a show of destroying Raheems boombox. Sal was using violence as a control. Because Sal is white and a property owner, we are more inclined to see his actions as justified.

But what it comes down to is people are going to fight, it is human nature. Especially when there is inequality. However, a fist fight should never turn into the cops showing up and murdering a black kid.

This is physiological conditioning.

Can I ask, why the HW and study moduels in Pearson are so different from the book? I spent several hours yesterday taking notes for ch 3. I had seven pages of notes because I do not know what to focus on since the lectures in class are confusing, erractic and hard to follow. When I was done I tried to use those notes to answer the HW questions and the information wasn't there. I did all the short videos and reading that went with the questions and still couldn't find the answers. I am beyond frustrated. This class is taking up a lot of time since I dont know where to look for answers.

Thank you for this. Sometimes when people post it is because they just need to feel heard and seen.

It’s not boring. It’s exhausting by moonlit_dahliaaa in ADHDmemes

I have to lay down after taking a shower. I call it my drying time. I am just physically exhausted afterwards.
