Relearning - warning, possibly offensive

[Linda York]

This was a VERY informative post. Most of us have never lived nor knew anyone who lived such a life. Sometimes we live in our own worlds, unaware that the is an other side of life out there. To know it does help us understand people and life better. To help (and teach) others as we go through life. I felt MANY, MANY, emotions while reading the post. From VERY sad to VERY angry. Thank you for sharing your story to help us understand. I am very glad that you are the person you are today. I too, have to agree with others, that your Father abused everyone, not only your pets. He lived what he was taught. I also have to say that when subjects are brought up on PT and opened up for "discussion", alot of differant thoughts, opinions and beliefs are brought to the table. Sometimes people ask for help, opiniions, and thoughts, but feel, when they get the answers, that people are being judgemental. I don't beleive that. Differant thoughts and opinions are just that "differant". Not judgemental. This is a forum and we all won't agree. We all just have our own opinions. Differant opinions or disagreeing are not being judgemental. Just as this thread.... it affected us all in many differant ways. We all took from it what we understood, and how it may have affected us and gave back our thoughts. Thank you for sharing... If it has reached or help one person, it was worth it.
