God, go on then, you may aswell ask.

would it be too painful to retell one of the events?

[Hypnotica_Gaze]

Im pretty much over the things that happened etc.
However at the same time i dont really see the point in "entertaining" the internet public with stories of my dad beating my mother and i or more commonly torturing me by doing sadistic things which pointed to him being a psychopath.

[McGiver]

i just think a discussion of the topic could be enlightening to some.  there are several people who do not come from that sort of background and have no empathy for it.

also there are some people who may be caught up in the 'cycle of abuse' but have no empathy for it.  it could prove a worthwhile discussion, if, its not too painful for you.

[Hypnotica_Gaze]

Ive shared most of it with kids, survivors of abuse etc, who i had worked with etc, or asked to speak with, may have been going thru similar things etc. But cant say ive went into internet forums and told my life story of abuse etc, if anyone was in a similar position, or enquired id prob discuss it privately, but its not something id really advertise as such.

thank you, i am happy to hear that you have made yourself available as a resource for someone in need.
you are a good person, despite your protests to the contrary.

Oh of course, ive done that for a very long time, it has played a big part of my life, and is part reason why ive chosen to do certain types of work, study in certain areas, developed certain types of contacts etc. I just stopped doing voluntary work because it took up pretty much all of my time due to me being so envolved and wanting to see things thru etc, check up on things etc.
Which isnt so good when you have family stuff, university stuff, and a fair bit of other things to juggle alongside it, so i took a break even though i still had/have certain ppl contact me who knew me from then etc. I will go back to voluntary work again soon, but at the moment i need to immerse myself in other things first which will help further my goals, and help certain causes even better.

But yes enough of that.

Do you play video games?

[Hypnotica_Gaze]

I have been known to play games on my bros PS2 yes.
Recently completed the newest Tomb Raider Legend game, was quite cool but not enough levels etc. He only had it 4days, after i completed it he took it and exchanged it for a new game. lol

I like playing him at fighting games, as its funny when i kick his ass because hes goes in such a huff, hes worse when i beat him at games like burnout though because apparently "Girls shouldnt be able to win at those kind of games".

Needless to say hes learnt his lesson.

You mean fighting games such as Dead or Alive, where it's all about the bouncing bosoms and the ladies' bums?

I don't get fazed with girls playing video games, to be honest with you. :/

[Hypnotica_Gaze]

Dead or Alive, that game is so silly and slightly sexist, oh yeah bouncing boobs and arses, skimpy outfits, but no guys with a bulge or hard-on.

Fighting games in general, like Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibar, Tekken (the most recent versions) Those kinda games.

I quite liked the racing game burnout, because the objective was to smash and destroy as many other cars as possible, which well, its just too easy for a girl like me.

Yes I dont see why some guys are phased by a girl beating them at a video game either.

Thing is, there's nothing really masculine or feminine playing and outwitting an AI or human opponent on a video game because it's all about mental power -- and that's pretty much universal among all gender-types.

[Hypnotica_Gaze]

Indeed, but the mental power is a little more advanced in a female.

Sexist pig.

Ok well in some females.
