OK
All of that! I a;ready feel better, BUT FUCK!
Each Thursday I take my kids to a mixed marital arts class. They NEED this. They get exercise, they win ribbons for their accomplishments, they learn to defend themselves.
... and honestly it is working. Just a few days ago, I was playing with my daughter( I was so impressed, I challenged my son, soon after) and I tried to touch her like an attacker might.
To my great pleasure AND amazement, I could not touch her. She resisted every one of my attempts to try to put my hands on her.
NOW, understand, as a father, it became a game instantly of how well you can stop someone from hurting you.
She has been learning martial arts since she was five years old and now that she is thirteen, I am truly amazed at her skill level. I have challenged her before, but last week, I was amazed and now I know how she won all those ribbons and trophies. SHE is fucking awesome!
I am not that bad either; I have studied for thirty two years. YES, I am old and weak, these days, but to feel HER resist me so strongly, at every attempt I made to harm her, lifted my spirit so high that I am beside my self. :puts in a happy cry smiley:
Some shithead best not try to fuck with my daughter, really. She will kick his ass! I am a proud Dad!
... but that is not why I came to this thread! I came here to bitch a bit.
