Good for you!
Thanks to everyone who commented - worldwide as well as on BN - Steve Irwin was forced to confront his treatment of his four-week-old son on television. Although he did one of those Michael Jackson-style denials that his behavior was harmful, the fact is that if it weren't for the protests of people... Sign in to see full entry.

Steve, what were you thinking?
American viewers in particular - and perhaps Australians - know who Steve Irwin is. Here in the USA, he's known as the Crocodile Hunter, the subject of an Animal Planet series and one feature film. He is also a husband and father. Well, it's his turn to get in trouble - this time for dangling his... Sign in to see full entry.

Things we can do for abuse victims
Editormum talks about what an abuse victim should do for herself if she finds herself in that situation, in her blog Editormum's Oddments (look for it on her profile page, to which I provided the link). If you are in that kind of situation, you shouldn't have to do those things alone, even though... Sign in to see full entry.

Leftovers from a couple of days ago
In reading posts about my former partner from a couple of days ago, I thought of something I talk about with my husband every once in a while. As I mentioned briefly at that time, he hosts a social event designed specifically for what ordinary folks ("vanillas") would call "perverts." On his... Sign in to see full entry.

Now wait just a minute, Mr. Jackson.
I only saw a few publicity clips of the 60 Minutes Jackson interview. One of those clips showed the arm Jackson says was roughed up by Santa Barbara sheriff's police. My response? It looks more like a dialysis access fistula than a wound inflicted by way of police brutality. It also looks more like... Sign in to see full entry.

What I wish would happen
This is the time of year when we think of such things - and why we make New Year's resolutions (many of which are broken by the end of the first week of January). It is also a good time to think of what I wish would happen as a direct result of this blog. Although the complete end of abuse as we... Sign in to see full entry.

When "just letting him be himself" won't work
I may have mentioned on BN that one of my favorite book series is Getting Them Sober, by Toby Rice Drews. She's a counselor specializing in helping families of alcoholics get over the emotional abuse the alcoholic has done to them. A good chunk of her writing is about just this issue - the...

Another take on the phrase Write About Now
There is a blogger whose blog is entitled Write About Now. Well, when I first read the title to that blog, I thought immediately of my former partner's desire that I shut up and stick to my present-day circumstances. (Let's face it - those circumstances are pretty grim, and I don't know if I'd like... Sign in to see full entry.

Just remember one thing: All is not as it seems
In a comment left on an earlier segment of this blog, someone told me that people were acting and talking as if she were delusional when she divorced her ex. That's a sort of reminder that abusers do tend to be popular and sociable, while successfully portraying their abusers as being deranged lone... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog
The name of the post is derived from a Francis Schaeffer book, and intended to rebut something I'd seen on the Internet. The blog itself is about what I've learned about relationships from the ones I've had, and the ones I've observed. It will not be pleasant to read, and might wander off-topic occasionally, but is intended to be a long-term blog reading like a public journal.  Links
