Spike 5,103 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) 7 minutes ago, Dr. Gonzo said: For the second time today in this thread, you're making me say this: Holy fucking shit. Was it his school teacher that did the abuse? How long ago was it? My uncle had a teacher that decades later was arrested for being a paedo - and it wasn't until that arrest that my uncle came forward about what happened with him and how he kept quiet about it for decades. And according to my dad, that teacher's nickname around the school was … "Paedo"... so it's not like the suspicions weren't there (or that it wasn't known); but it was decades after they were out of school that this bloke was caught. But I remember my Dad coming home from his brother's house... all the colour out of his skin (granted, he's pasty as fuck - but you know what I mean)... then sitting down with us kids and telling us what he'd been told and just being at a loss for words. So yeah... I'm sure it does feel bad mate. Are you finding you keep thinking about what happened to them, regardless of how much you try not to think about it? A relative, unfortunately. Of course I can't stop thinking about it, how could I not? It would surprise some people on here but beneath my abrasive exterior is a sensitive sucker that cares about people. When it was coming, I knew, I fucking knew already but I was holding my breathe hoping, and that was all I could do. It seems I'm a magnet for damaged people, there are others...

For the last 20-25 years, the youth turnout has always been low in the UK, but Corbyn still appealed heavily (and successfully) to young people. I think that proves my point, once in a blue moon.

Yeah it’s shit because you’re utterly powerless to protect them because the abuse has already been done and it’s something they have to live with forever. A family member doing the abuse is fucking horrific. Nothing you can do but continue being a good friend to them. Nothing inherently wrong with “damaged” people though - some of the best people I know have had some very fucked up things happen to them.

Sometimes I start by asking a question of someone before realizing I may not like the answer so immediately follow up with "on second thoughts I don't want to know" before they can open their mouths to speak...

Toinho 2,210 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 My head is all over the place. My grandparents estate was finally settled. Brought back memories, sadness, and gratefulness.

You don't have to use the money. Stick it in a savings account or something. Let it accrue and then you can either pass it on in future as well or use it when you're finally comfortable to do so. There's no shame in how you're feeling right now mate. Also though, would your grandparents want you to use the money as you wish?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will use it as a deposit for a house in the not too distant future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Bunch of us friends went to the zoo yesterday, in the wolf sections there were quite some hot girls standing next to us. My friend said to me ' Check out those girls..... etc ' There was a woman standing next to us with her kids and she heard all of it. She looked at us and said ' Come on kids lets go we've seen all the wolfs today ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
