Well people will do w/e we allow them to do. But I'm not here to advocate what someone does when they're naive, foolish, lack self-esteem and are able to be victimized--I'm here to advocate that women show more wisdom, courage, boundaries and self-respect. Much of this heartache could have been avoided, had any of these girls been taught an ounce of any one of the four--and told RC where to get off. Just sayin.
kiki, I know that you're right..but I have a hard time with that because ashamed as I am to admit it, when I was much younger..I was just as naive thinking I could "fix" my ex. I will say that while in my case my ex DID go to jail a couple of times in 19 years (he was just lucky though and didn't get caught usually) I did not ever take my children to see him..big whoop, huh? ...But yeah, I've been in her shoes and in hindsight it was SO stupid for me to stay for SO many reasons..but I did..and as much as I would like to shake her..I understand it...Just sayin..
People who were abused as children, especially sexually, often exhibit behavior such as the above. Not only were their bodies violated, but their psyche was raped of self-value and boundary development. Has it ever been said that Misty was sexually victimized?
"These people are beyond stupid" someone said on NG tonight. Indeed; emotionally and intellectually. Many on WS have commented that they don't know anyone like these folks; unfortunately, such dysfunction is rampant in today's society despite the many advances in and opportunities afforded by education. It staggers the mind and, if looked at objectively, evokes pity in many of us. Of course, in this particular case, objectivity is elusive most of the time due to our concern for the welfare of Haleigh and our dedication to her recovery.
