My Me Too Post

I had a man shove his penis in my face. I would have remained silent, we're it not for my little sister. It was the most humiliating experience to have my mother make me relate this experience to a family friend... a probation officer for the San Jose Police Department. I was 12 years old. I was also raped by my first husband, yet stayed with him for many years.

So, if you wonder why I get pissy now and again, understand that I understand the dynamics at play. It is all about power

I am strong and work overtime to make sure my kid never behaves this way. I was reported to CPS because I slapped my 15 year old son when he started being an asshat. I'll take a visit from CPS rather than allow my son to become an abuser.

BTW: My son learned how to use the system to get himself out of trouble. He knew that CPS would come to the rescue if he painted me as abusive.
