......................Some of the responses in this thread might lead 0ne too believe that a significant percentage of mothers who have experienced male abuse are encouraging their daughters to become lesbians ! Maybe we'll soon see Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen on the 2 and 3 dollar bills ! , fordy

You don't have to become a lesbian to have a happy, husband-free life. Men are a luxery some of us chose to do without.

Of course.

DJ in WA and all others with children:

I want to give you a little piece of advice my mother always said, and she learned this from her father. She always told me, "Watch how a man treats his mother, because that is how he will treat you". She was, however, only half right. After being married for ten years, and remembering back to how perplexed I was watching how my husband's parents treated each other, I have altered the 'family advice' to this:

Watch how (a woman or) a man's parents treat each other, this is how your prospective spouse will very likely interact with you.

Judging from your view, I thought so.

I think you honestly believe that.


but you may be the only one that does.


Still no word from the OP. Please keep saying prayers of protection for her and her children.

I believe this thread no longer serves any useful homesteading purpose.
