Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by fubar on Jul 28th, 2003, 9:55pm That's a topic that is really tough to talk about in the open. To this day, I not only don't talk about it much, I find that I have suppressed the most horrible memories. This isn't just 'I'm gonna be tough about it" kind of suppression... I'm talking the kind of suppression that you don't even realize you're doing. For example, I was picked to be on a jury that was about domestic violence. We were asked multiple times if we had any issues in our past that would be relevant to the case, or if anything like this had happened to us. I repeatedly said no. They were just about to ‘sit’ this particular jury with me on it when I realized that, wait a minute, I can’t be fair in this trial. I swear, it just was like I had completely forgotten these tragic events. As soon as I realized what had happened, I called for a conference with the Judge. Imagine how stupid I felt explaining that, yes, I had been in a very violent home. The judge, the prosecutor, the defendants attorney… they all looked at me like I was loony or just trying to escape jury duty. It was very strange indeed. -Fu |

Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by forgetfulnot on Jul 28th, 2003, 10:30pm It only happened once to me, one summer day when I was thirteen my DAD came home from work early. He wanted to know why the yard wasn't mowed, I said it is too fucking hot out there, with one backhand I was in the backyard 110 deg F. and mowing . That backhand sent me at least 15 feet. I did not know he had C/H at the time but it became clear later, Lee |

Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by FrankF on Jul 28th, 2003, 11:29pm I only remember being beaten once. It seems my sister (4) and I (5) were playing doctor and I took her temperature with a screwdriver except I accidentally shoved the screwdriver down her throat. My sister was screaming her head off with blood gushing out her mouth and my mom was running around trying to catch me saying something about killing my ass. Eventually she caught up to me... I don't remember much after that. ;D She required surgery and spent a week in the hospital. I was pissed that she got to have ice cream when she was there and I didn't get any. :( |

Thank God. After seeing "DAD came home from work early" I was worried the next line was going to be "and mom told me to hop out of bed and go hide in the closet." |

Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by Hooter on Jul 29th, 2003, 2:31am Curious why you ask this question Lee? Not having a go, just confused ??? If it is catharsis for board members, then I suppose it has a place, maybe... But "Talk to me" sounds strange in this context. IF it is a suggestion of a connection with CH onset, IMHO is just gives credence to the prehistoric wankers who suggest that we are some hysterical, drug seeking, psychologically damaged bunch who need mind drugs, not proper treatment. That would put us back 20 years. Sorry, probably get flamed now, just my view. Hooter |

Title: looking back Post by rumplestiltskin on Jul 29th, 2003, 6:52am Not me. No parental abrasions about the head and face. I would have chronic Clusterbuttaches. Caught my share on that end. ...now emotional and psychlogical abuse is another thing. I got lots of "looking back" and "letting go" in that department. Wage Peace den |

Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by catlind on Jul 29th, 2003, 8:03am My mom's favourite weapon used to be a wooden spoon. My brother and I used to throw them on the roof hehe. So she switched to hot wheels tracks, those mothers pack a sting! However, I have to say, we deserved each and every time we got it, which really wasn't that often. My father never once laid a finger on me, my mother says he shoulda ;) Fairly normal *ahem* childhood here. Cat |

Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by stuey on Jul 29th, 2003, 8:08am I used to get my ass beat, switches (i had to bring in ones that were green and juicy and take off the leaves) and also belts by my grandmother. My mom used to hit me in my face and my grandmother too. I got tied down to the couch and got it hard with a belt. Is why I'm so screwed up in the head now I don't really know. But I do tend to put myself down alot ALOT. Stuey |

Title: Re: We don't want to talk about it Post by NotH20 on Jul 29th, 2003, 10:27am My mom used the wooden spoon too - especially on my older brother. I saw her break many a spoon on his butt.....she never used it on me though that stands out in my mind. My dad only hit me one time that I remember - I was 5 years old and took off down the street to the playgroud - didn't tell anyone where I was. When I came back, the entire house was frantic. He swatted my butt, but hurt my feelings more than my fanny. :'( I had a good childhood with no violence. My heart goes out to those that had it different. Mia |
