i saw an abused child today - maybe he was 3 or so -

his father let him use the stall in the rest room - the child was fascinated by the flush -

and the father pulled him nearly knocking him off balance -

it didn't seem right - it reminded me of me - at that age - fatigued - brittle unsure - and easy to push - and shock -

i rushed out of the washroom - and sure enough -

the mother with the daughter - and her husband were dropping the son off in daycare - at the home show - and the daughter went with them -

the son moving very careful and slowly - with a grey look and sort of a smile - just of denial towards his seat to watch the television at a table all alone -

that's me!

and then the woman spewed venom - taking all her anger out at that little guy - the daycare worker looked at them in fear -


the father fed off the negativity towards a lesser -

so gross -

it reminds me of what dad said recently - he thinks he is good to me -

he said - mark sometimes your so smart it's scary

- i should have said -
dad sometimes you are so dumb and unconscious it's scary -

this poor kid - moving so slow and fatigued - and careful -

alone.

poor angel guy.
 
Mark,

Yes, unfortunately the world is still full of those little guys. But hopefully the world they grow up into will be one in which they will be able to find the help they need and trust it enough to reach out for it.

Much love,
Larry
 
Might I add this is coming from the same guy that encouraged me to look at porn and get laid as soon as possible.

I think he was scared I would become homosexual after the SA but in some ways I just think he was sick.
 
john it's so bizarre the limitation some people have -

at 65 i got away from my dad -

he was the CEO of several companies - very well known -

he went to therapy and called -

"I had no idea people wanted different things mark"

wtf?

mark

- when i got through college with all the illness i told dad - i was proud - he said

"well i paid for it!"
 
when my dad was 65 - i was 35 - 37 now
 
Mark,

When we make progress it is always our victory, but when we make it against the dead weight of the attitudes of people who should have helped us, it's doubly victorious. :) Well done.

Much love,
Larry
 
larry - i would say thank - but it seems odd to -

you are kind -

i need to go for a spell -

this man could pull any string and help me now -

but he is not -
 
but better this way - my life is mine -

and as such - whatever the outcome - all battles won are mine - and nothing to do with him

again
 
Just another dysfunctional family.
There are many I know who treat their kids badly.
Then I see them maybe acting out at preteen age, but nothing can be done.

It is sad when ppl treat a child this way, and make him feel vulnerable and miserable, then he tries to smild as kids wanna do, but he is not able to even be able to trust himself to do that,

keep on keeping on -
 
Mark,

If assistance comes with the implicit proviso that it's going to be thrown back in your face later on, then it's not help at all. It's manipulation.

As it stands now, as you yourself say, all the victories are yours. If I were in your place I would be VERY happy in that knowledge.

Much love,
Larry
 
Mark,

I agree with Larry. You are a super guy. You've reached some important milestones, and you have yourself to thank for it.

Go Mark.

Lots of love,

John
