Abused Men

When you think about the issue of domestic abuse, most people, if not even nearly everyone, thinks of a woman being battered by a man.  Hardly anyone thinks that it could possibly be the other way around.  However, the reality is, there are just as many men being abused by women as there are women being abused by men.  The statistics are skewed on this point because most men do not come forward with this.

For whatever reason, women have gotten some sort of a “free pass,” such that they can do or say whatever they want to a man and feel as though they are totally innocent.  Plus, if they DO feel the need to act in a mean way, it obviously means that the man initiated, HE started it.

Women are always the innocent flowers.  Their feelings are much more important than those of whatever a man calls “his feelings.”  What nonsense, really.  Men aren’t REAL human beings — they don’t experience pain and rejection the same way that women do; and, if they DO complain about it, well then that obviously means they are not “man” enough, or that they are just “too sensitive.”

How could I have been so blind?  How could I have been so stupid?

November 26, 2009 — Too Many to Thank

This is my second Thanksgiving Day on my second chance at life.  A little over a year ago, on November 10, 2008, my life was miraculously saved from imminent death.  One unknown generous person, simply because he or she was a registered organ donor, sacrificed his or her physical heart to replace my old, dying one.

Someday, I may find out who this wonderful person was and be able to express my infinite gratitude to his or her family.  Aside from this person, there are literally dozens and dozens of many others to whom I am indebted to as well.  On this day, I thank God and of course, ALL of you who so generously shared pieces of your OWN heart so that I could have a whole new one.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you all!

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
