B!TC# IT OUT!

I've had a shitty day health wise and one of my few stress relief options that I use is now covered in equal parts drama, shit, and ego. I HATE DRAMA. Get it off me! And all I want is a nice chat and fun with some good friends and someone decides to be an asshole. Do I have any right to be upset or question anything NO. Screw that! You mess with everyone and think I'll play pretend with you? You need medication or a swift kick in the ass or both. I don't tolerate that bullshit. Meanwhile I'm barely able to move irl without feeling like the room is spinning and I'm going to be sick. THANKS. SO MUCH.

Kelly, Amphitrite, orange candles are going on my window sill tonight.

??? What do the Orange candles represent?

I don't have any Orange candles, but will putting an Orange halter on my horse for the night do? It glows.

I don't understand either Sabrina, but thank-you! <3

Orange, in candles, is used for strength and healing. And that is a great harness. ♥

Thanks! <3

So I know I shared a bit about my lowsy living situation awhile back, the unemployeed dad who has anger issues, etc. Now I'm just frustrated. After Months of trying to hold everything together and barely scraping by my Father is just an ungrateful jerk who has turned my house into a war zone to the point where my anxiety condition has given me enough panic attacks that I had to be removed from my desk at work several times and taken away from the public eye until someone could calm me down and I am hardly eating from loss of appetite and if i get any sleep it is just restless and full of nightmares that I don't always wake up from...I am starting to completely pass my limit.

Now his newest mental game is he is pretending I don't exist entirely and if he does acknowledge my presence it is in the form of talking either to my cats or the other people in the room about me as if I am not there. I can't take care of things if he wont communicate with me! And why is my 60 year old father doing this? Because I went groccery shopping Saturday evening at 6pm instead of during the afternoon (during which I was at the movies with my mom and cousin which had been planned for over a week). And he could of just said "he could you pick me up some [insert whatever he wanted at the store]" but instead he yelled at me and told me i was irresponsible and selfish and to just forget about it and that he wanted nothing because it was "too late". I asked if he was sure and he got even more mad.

I stayed with him and moved back in full time when he got laid off after the merger and put mine and my boyfriend (of almost 6 years) life on pause so that he could stay in the house I grew up in and have groceries and help until he got back on his feet...that was 2 years ago. And this isn't the first time he has done something childish and emotionally/mentally harmful. I love my Dad and I am of the firm belief that you take care of your parents, it is just what you do but I'm not sure how much more of this I can handle. I am the baby of his 3 children (by 12 years) and where are my brother and sister? She can't be bothered to admit she has a Dad because he said something 10 years ago she didn't like that he didn't just take her word as law on everything and my brother is I don't even know because he hasn't spoken to our dad since '94 and now he travels for work all the time.

I am at the point where I know that for my health I need to take me and my 2 cats and get out, but the boyfriend and I just can't seem to find a place and we are just plum out of luck with finding a room-mate too. This are just way too stressful and I feel like I'm drowning in it. And I can't even turn to my family because Mom is jsut as bad which is why I don't live with her. (she threw a sledge hammer at my face when i was 17) I love her but she just isn't stable and the other brother says he can't be bothered with family problems. I feel super guilty too. If we do manage to find a place and I move out Dad is going to lose everything. He has no real income, just random small chunks here or there for the odd job, and he has no where to really go. My aunt said he can stay with her (4 states away) if he leaves everything behind. He doesn't even have the money to get to her and she doesn't want to help get him there she just said if he can get there. I don't want him to lose everything, I just don't wanna be bullied and manipulated, shamed, and overworked to help someone who is so nasty and at this point bad for my health. I know it is just his situation making him like this, but I don't want it to get so bad that we don't have a relationship left to salvage when I do move on and he does land on his feet...

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.


Ouch.

So.... Am I the only one pissed off about this guy who rapes a girl behind a dumpster and then basically gets off with a slap on the wrist of 6 months? BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT THIS TO INTERFERE WITH HIS LIFE????
WHAT? HE RAPED A GIRL! The amount of people, even if its a small portion, who think this is okay is truly baffling. Eveything about this case is messed up. And now I hear he is trying to get his 6 month sentence knocked down to house arrest! How arrogant do you have to be?? He and his father are trying to play the victim in a case where he raped an unconscious woman!
Some are calling this rape culture, some are calling this white privilege, I don't get a fuck what you call it. Its fucked up how this works. You have some people with no prior arrest being given at least a few years on rape. A lot of people are talking about this but Brian Banks was sentenced to SIX YEARS for a rape he didn't even commit and he had no record and had a promising career in atheletics just the same as this guy, and yet he wasn't given 6 months. He was given 6 years.

I can't. I fucking cannot. What is this world coming to?

Unfortunately, the world has been like this for a long, long time. It's thanks to social justice movements that people are seeing this stuff and getting justifiably outraged. I'm optimistic that things are getting better, and I hope my generation's children can live in a world a little better than ours!

Well, our whole legal system is designed to screw the victim left, right and sideways while the perpetrators get off. Particularly for young adult white males.

One in 5 women will be raped within their lifetime (in the U.S.) as of the 2015 calculations. One in 4 amongst those who go to college because of campus rape culture.

At this point, I don't expect much from our legal system.

If you really want your blood to boil go read the blog "When Women Refuse" it's all just testimonies from women about horrid scenarios. After I read that, I had nightmares.

Keep in mind that one in five statistic is considerably lower than the stat for worldwide. Don't recall that one off the top of my head, though.

No, you're not. This case has had me reeling. I'm just glad they released his photo and name. The internet will seek justice for her, but it's not going to be pretty. Maybe that'll teach the judge. It wasn't about him, it was about his parents' money. I'm 99% positive they paid off the judge. He changed his mind halfway through this whole mess. I read her letter. It was powerful and she's so incredibly brave. I am praying for justice to be done.

I am just so thankful those 2 angels came by at the right time for her! It could have been so, sooo much worse if it wasn't for those 2 on their bikes. I read her statement and I am so amazed at how strong willed and determined she has remained throughout this whole process. So much sister love going on in my heart right now for that girl!

I hope Anonymous or 4chan find that asshole and ruin his life at home.

If not, I hope people of the internet never forget. They say he was training for the Olympics? I hope hundreds of thousands of people show up and protest every single swim meet he ever attempts. The court system may let him off the hook, but I hope the people don't forget. I want ever employer he has to know about who he is and what he did. I want his life to forever stained by something he thinks he can just roll over. Not today.

No one will forget. He'll be haunted by this his whole life and onwards.
