if you met your family/guardians when you were a little kid via time travel, what would be the dialogue?

Women actually abuse kids more often than men

But men more often beat them severely or kill

It's a factor of size/strength

Women tend to abuse in psychological way. My great grandmother was tyrant to my grandma and her sisters all their life, so much that her sisters never had the chance to leave the mothers house and were "forced" to live with the abuser until she died.
They lived all their lives in fear of their mother.

Oh and when they were children (and teens up to young adults), my great grandma also administer physical punishment regularly .

Depends can't speak for everyone but there are definitely different levels of punishment vs abuse that can't be compared to these days. A kid might think a spanking is abuse where that's just average parenting.

I searched the whole topic for this joke, but I didn't find it.


I'd tell my parents to tell me not to sign up for gbatemp.

"even a large pond that is stagnant becomes a cesspit of disease."

hence your desire to look like a leprechaun; a fairy tale indeed for you to see that as a 'compliment'.

I am very sorry if you all had difficult pasts. If it is any consolation, I grew up in a home that shortly after that time, was physically abusive and eventually disowned me.

I wanted to see if anyone wanted a fun activity to see how they've gotten through rough recent events.

I can try to come up with fun and wholesome threads: none of you ought to have to have regrets your whole life.

I took some time to think about my reply because giving a serious reply in the EOF is a sin. Honestly, my past sucks. I am several layers of fatherless, and I feel that's pretty obvious. Sometimes I wish my dad wasn't a piece of shit. Legit, I know it's messed up to feel nothing when I think about the idea of his last days coming ever closer. At the same time, I have turned that energy toward helping others. I've been working with young adults and late teens, many struggling with parental issues. I've helped give them the adult I wanted to see growing up. That pain has turned to helping others not turn out like me. I have a strong aversion towards my own kind. I am happy knowing that maybe another young adult will grow up and not see the world that I saw. Maybe they might shed a tear for those who hurt them, abandoned them, or simply weren't there for them. I know I won't be doing the same with those who hurt me, and to be honest, I am glad that there will be less who feel the same.

Bad parents aren't always bad because it gives you a chance to be what they couldnt be. My dad overdosed when I was 16 and my mom was a control freak alcoholic and I got away from that family to live my own life.
 
I don't recall where exactly I mentioned this before, but I grew up in a physically abusive home, same as my cousin.

She became a dedicated mother. I became a teacher, and more.

It is super easy to break the back-and-forth cycle when that happens.
 
that said, you can tell: I miss my aunt. she was such a super snarky, 'proto-tomboy': she loved star wars, made very snarky comments, "yeah, padme, if my boyfriend just told me he committed mass-murder; I would immediately leave and get very far away/oh my gosh; these lines are just so stupid, George!"

she was very athletic, roasted all of the kajllion guys who tried to ask her out, and was playing super mario bros. back in nineteen eighty five, and later the first tekken, mortal kombat, etc. when they came out; many of her friends thought she was eccentric. She is like a sister to me, since we were so close in age and we grew up together; she even snuck into my room as a baby to hold me from my crib as a little kid; I picked up my pranks _and_ my sass from her. (oddly enough it seems, she sort of looks and would often snark like jade here):



my dad was one of the first gamers; he had an atari 5200, and atari 8 bit computer, both when they were new, and made first place in an old contest, and could wipe out all mushrooms in centipede casually, and easily max-score pac-man.

and my grandfather is a nuclear physicist/food chemist that is also a nineteen sixties-trained green beret who turned down the offer to do rings in the olympics.

and my sibling? a jock-nerd (hence my "MPRTwice, is that your sister?" post)

loads of jock-nerds/geeks in the family. I had so much fun sparring my sibling! he was one of the few who would not back down and was relentless outside of what we did, and took the losses like a soldier; smiling while throwing up from a body shot for a solid thirty minutes. and our verbal debates for four hours at a time? outstanding. he could run azula's logic into the ground; he is an expert at managing clients, conversations, and finance. even before he was this sharp-witted, he scored 99th percentile in logic and analytics, and like me, he had to adapt to survive. oh, and he lifts more at the barbell at the gym than I do.

my aunt did a little bit of Tae-Kwon-Do too, and loads of marathons. she was definitely one of the first "gaming girls" back in the nineteen eighties.

I miss her, because she battles depression. I really do.

So, perhaps that is why I reference a lot of 'tough women' in media. It's my way of saying, "hey, I miss you 'big sis', I really do. I Iearned how to snark in part due to you. please don't be depressed; you are kind."

when I drop the sarcasm, you can tell I had a rough day. and having a rough day is fine; just don't lose yourself.

Not to compare scars but the guy whose DNA that I share is a pedophile and a murderer. He’s lived his entire life doing stupid shit, bringing children into this world, then abandoning them. He’s a drug addicted and alcoholic who’s now living with the consequences of spending his entire life abusing substances and lying. Quite honestly, I am glad he was out of the majority of my life.
