- SO?

- Humanity often sucks in general when it comes to relationships. I have
- met very few 'happy couples'. The majority of relationships are based on
- one person supporting the other or feeling sorry for the other and wanting
- to help. This is what is called in 'pop psychology' as CO-DEPENDANCY. While
- a little of this will go on in a healthy relationship... in a growing number
- of folks that I know, this is becomming a sick mode of operation.
-
- The most overt form of co-dependancy is the person who marries an alchie
- or druggie and puts up with years of hell and abuse because they can't let
- go for fear of hurting the others feelings or because 'no one will ever love
- me again'. Other less overt forms are the mental and physical abusers.

- I lost a very close freind to the insanity of this sickness (3 years ago)
- her ex went to her house in the mountains and killed her. Just reciently
- (about 4 months ago) A person who I had met only breifly was sitting in a
- meeting when her ex of 1 year burst in and drug her out to the parking lot
- and killed her. These aren't inbread mutants that are doing these things,
- they are so called normnal people that have been fed so much crap by our
- white man's society that murder and abuse are tolerated. , (GOD forbid we
- should see somebody walking around naked, but it is OK to show Rambo
- blowing away commies on the Sunday evening moovie).
-
- This can be (and is) a very mentally sick world. If you feel that Pagan
- men are scum... there is no argument from me... but just be sure to include
- everyone else in your melding pot.... It isn't just the men either....
-
- *SOAP BOX MODE Off.....
-
- Sorry to be grumpy but Nov 18th is a bitch day for me and I got caught up in
- the story!
-
- Only we have the power to change the world.... it will take a long time and
- the wheel turns ever so slowly
