Memory Problems & Physical Abuse

by Nosferatu in

me and my fiance were discussing this last night when i suddenly forgot where i was!

(just kidding).. but on a serious note, my short-term memory is lousy, and my mother's all around memory is crap.

she suffered physical and sexual abuse as a child, and she passed the physical abuse onto me.

Hey nilfin,

Sorry about your life with your lousy husband - and I'm assuming it's over? Good - you've come further than a lot of abuse victims.

If you're still with him, I hope you rethink your situation.

Take care.

Memory Problems & Physical Abuse

by Nosferatu in

me and my fiance were discussing this last night when i suddenly forgot where i was!

(just kidding).. but on a serious note, my short-term memory is lousy, and my mother's all around memory is crap.

she suffered physical and sexual abuse as a child, and she passed the physical abuse onto me.

I've had for years infrequent shooting nerve pains down the left side of my face and ear. Never know when they're coming - but they will stop me immediately. Like hitting your crazy bone. My husband was the first to ask, "was your father right or left handed?" (or it could be a brain tumor, eh?)

On some levels I can still actually *see* his hand coming down upon the leftside of my face.....like a bat outta hell. That whole side of my head automatically freezes up and I can see the shadow coming from the side. He was a boxer when young - strong man.

Lovely memories our parents/mates leave us sometimes, eh?

As for memory? Yeah, I have short-term problems & long term - just depends, and definitely not all the time. But, so did my mother (so it could be hereditary.) But, my mother had the crap beat out of her for a good portion of her life by her father, and my father (so it could be abuse.) Or it could be both.

Whatever..........we outgrow our abusers with effort - and become better people in spite of them.

Hello Alamb,

We could all go donate blood (some places pay) and sign the checks directly over to the WT to pay her fees. See if they take blood money. Show them for what they are. Hypocrites.

Yanno, that's not a bad idea. The donate blood idea. We could sign the checks over to Vicki (or just cash them & send her the money - but send copy of original check for blood donation) But if we could sign them safely over to her.........she could xerox copy them and show that it's BLOOD MONEY which is paying the WTBTS for their continued abuse of a survivor of sexual abuse by their religion.

Might even make a public statement usable for future publicity.

Does anyone else see the possibilites this could be - IF we could pull it off?

A true way to help Vicki.
And! Make a nasty public statement to the WT on child abuse and blood.
And! Actually help other people to live.
And! Not actually cost the ones involved any money (just their blood, eh?)

Could this be actually organized, promoted for Vicki & against the WTBTS? The Damn The WT Blood Drive!

Whatcha think? Could we do this? There's other xjw's who don't frequent here (some of our family members even) who we *might* get involved with this. Strong reasons to give a little.

Uzzah?

Yo English People,

If you can rent "My Cousin Vinnie"..........it'll help you out with the grits explanation. It's finely ground corn, btw. It can be cooked several different ways - but the usual way is just boiled.

It's the dinner version that's added to with shrimp, ham, cheese, all kinds of stuff (and then called fancy names).

I like the dinner version - but it's so funny to order Shrimp & Grits with a visiting yankee sitting across the table. They just look at it going "whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"

Y'all ever had a "mess of greens" as the vegetable at dinner? lol - took me a while to figure that one out too.

What an education awaits you! Of course, if you're staying in Orlando....it's really not the south. It's Disney & shopping. If you have the time, St. Augustine (up the Fla coast aways) is wonderful - the backstreets of it. The Ol' Florida can still be found on the backstreets - good pizza too.

lol - hey Nina,

Yeah - we could. But even in the Really Good Restaurants around here (and they are) - it's called Shrimp & Grits.....at $15.00 plus.

Polenta does sound better....but nobody around here would know what it was. And then when they were told, they'd go "Waell, Haell, why didn't ya just called it Shrimp & Grits?"

Lookin' forward to meeting so many friends!
