Damage

This is not my usual post. But it’s something I had to share. As you read this, imagine how your reaction would differ if this story were being told by a woman, talking about how her husband treated her.

I have been separated from my wife for over a year, though we continue to share a house. We live on separate floors. We share the house because we need to parent our son together, and because we can’t afford to maintain two households.

I’d like to tell you a story, illustrating one reason why I am divorcing her. This is an example of the treatment I have received over the past fourteen years.

This evening, while she was drinking her wine, my estranged wife took exception to the fact that I wanted to talk about how tense she’s been. She said she didn’t want to talk about it.

I left the room (so as to comply with her request).

I went upstairs to use our tiny guest bathroom. She began to yell and throw things around the kitchen, then eventually charged up the stairs and into the bathroom, just as I was finishing and getting ready to leave. She confronted me there, holding her half-full wine glass in her hand. Her voice got louder, her gestures wilder.

She complained that I had upset her by wanting to talk when she had told me she didn’t want to talk. As I began to feel uncomfortable, I said, “You’re saying it’s my fault you can’t express your emotions responsibly like an adult?”

She said, “Yes!! It’s because you want to go off and take a vacation with your girlfriend!” Then she threw the contents of her glass in my face and smashed it against my bare chest.

The results are pictured here.

I stood there, with shattered glass at my feet, glass shards sticking in my skin, bleeding, for five minutes or so. I asked her to move so that I could leave. She waved the broken stem of the glass in the air and said, “Leave!! Who’s stopping you?”

I told her she was standing between me and the door. I felt threatened.

She laughed and said, “You’re 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds! You can’t feel threatened by me!”

I said, “You just broke a glass on my chest and cut me. You’re standing there with the stem in your hands. Yes. I feel threatened.”

She said, “No, you don’t.”

I asked her to move out of the way and let me pass. I didn’t want her to think I was pushing her or threatening her.

She held her ground, waved the broken stem and shouted, “Go on! Leave! I’m not stopping you!”

After I asked her repeatedly, she finally moved a bit and I left, carefully stepping over the broken glass.

I have posted this here as evidence, and to help those who may think that size and gender make a difference when abuse is concerned. People who, like my estranged, think some have permission to feel threatened and some don’t.

Abusers come in all sizes and genders.

She and I went to a half dozen therapists over the years. At each initial session, every therapist took a look at me, then at her (5’4” 150 lbs.). Then he or she would gravely ask my wife, “Do you feel safe?”

None ever thought to ask me.

Thanks for listening.

eXCUSE ME

BUT IM REBLOGGING THIS BECAUSE MEN NEED JUST AS MUCH SUPPORT AS WOMEN DO.

Abuse is abuse.

It doesn’t matter who it is, how big they are, or their gender.

It’s wrong.

My mother (5’6”, 120 lbs.) used to beat the living daylights out of my father (5’10”, 210 lbs.) when my brother and I were children. She would throw things at him, punch him, slap him, claw him, scream and yell. He never once raised a hand to defend himself because he knew what would happen to him if he did. The notion that abuse is perpetuated by men and only men has never made sense to me at all.

^^^ My mother was the same way with my dad, only she’s a lot shorter (4’8” or so). Size doesn’t matter at all. Abuse is abuse, there’s no unit of measurement for it nor any excuse for it. This makes me afraid that I might become like her, because I’m just as angry but for different reasons and I’m just as loud. It’s the burning coal in my hands. I would sooner hurl myself over a building than ever lay a finger on my spouse. I just wouldn’t be able to live anymore …

He supposedly left but managed to take pictures in different angles of the crime scene…….oh.

The blood maybe flowing a bit but you can see places where it has dried a bit. If you are too stupid to use your brain, and figure out that he returned after she had also left the area; then I really don’t know what to say to you.

Wtf bruh

Btw if you think this is gross then you don’t know that their are insects, rat, arachnids already in the food you eat everyday. The FDA allows it as well. Also I bet it is delicious seeing as how it was cooked therefore devoid of any dangerous microbes.

I posted some cellphone pictures of the SHR French Boxset I received yesterday over on the FB page and was asked if I would be willing to scan the included postcards. Well I had some time today and scanned the lot. It’s a shame none of these were used as the official art for the movie some of the designs are pretty cool. I really like the design that’s a remake of the art used in the Silent Hill 3 print ad.

I will be taking better pictures of the entire French boxset for my collection site soon!
