Have you been a victim of domestic violence?

@Keepitsimple Not anymore I hope?

@stratosranger oh no, It was my father he beat my mom and me.

So sorry. My Dad was quite the sadist too. @Keepitsimple

I’m sorry you went through it also. It’s not fun living in fear and being scared of somebody who is supposed to protect you.@stratosranger

Yup. On the positive side I am stronger for it. And as for him? He died alone and is in an unmarked pauper’s grave. I have the name of the graveyard but zero desire to ever visit it. @Keepitsimple

@stratosranger My dad died also. My sister and I and our kids aren’t listed in obituary. We weren’t speaking when he passed. An estranged aunt was kind enough to send a pic showing he was buried. I haven’t been there ever in the five years he’s been dead. I let it go but like you I am strong because of it. Probably too strong. I don’t take any crap from anybody.

Good! It is a shame that it takes the worst to make people strong. But you have at least something that many others don’t. @Keepitsimple

@stratosranger I have a great family on my mother’s side. I owe it to them. I hope you’re ok?

Yep. It’s all good. Thanks. 💜 @Keepitsimple
