How could someone be so cruel?

I don't know. My father did worse to me. I've talked to her.

[effingconfused.livejournal.com]

On second thought, she's a bitch.

[closes her eyes] Why would someone say that?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Awhhhhhh. . . Cry, cry. Put on your big girl panties and suck it up. People are mean, life is cruel, you should know that by now, why else would your dad beat you?

[cjsullivan.livejournal.com]

Because he's an asshole? And frankly by the sound of it, so are you.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I'm wounded, deeply.

Sal...

What do you want? Really? You wanna talk 'bout some ethics?

[damn-mouse.livejournal.com]

It happens to people more than you know.

[sound-upstairs.livejournal.com]

T-the dad thing or people being cruel?

[damn-mouse.livejournal.com]

The dad thing, unfortunately. Not just dads. Moms, uncles, guardians, teachers. Too many children fall victim to that kind of thing.

Because people are assholes.

On the flip side, most people don't spill their life stories to complete strangers.

[cjsullivan.livejournal.com]

Actually people in crisis or who've been through severe trauma do that quite frequently.

[nomansaugust.livejournal.com]

Please take account of the word "most".

[sound-upstairs.livejournal.com]

At the meeting they told me to talk about it, it's part of the process.

[nomansaugust.livejournal.com]

You probably shouldn't talk about it to just anyone, is the thing. It opens you to be attacked while you're vulnerable and makes you easy prey to whackjobs that get their thrills from making some poor kid who probably already (unnecessarily) blames themselves even worse.

[damn-mouse.livejournal.com]

That second part, I always thought the same thing.

[carlythehobo.livejournal.com]

Jesus.

...People suck.

[sound-upstairs.livejournal.com]

They do.

[cranes-blood.livejournal.com]

You're surprised that someone is unsympathetic? One would think your years with your father, as you seem to describe them, would have given you the impression that you should expect a lack of sympathy and expect cruelty.

[how-can-i-help.livejournal.com]

*is shocked*

I'll talk to her.

[sound-upstairs.livejournal.com]

I don't think it'll help, but thank you.

[anoddyellowrose.livejournal.com]

Don't listen to her, hon. Not worth it.

[sound-upstairs.livejournal.com]

[nods]

I wont.

Grow a thicker skin.
