Thank you guys for being here for me in the past, and letting me vent again.

You all read about my abusive family of origin that sexually, physically, and emotionally abused me my whole life, until I got away from them.

My father of the supergluing a Yorkshire terrier’s lips together fame.

Well, he’s dying of cancer. I’m having a lot of feelings about that.

And then there was the bullying done to me on-line by D. and S. and their people, and my family participating in all of that, I guess at the behest of said celebrities.

So even though my family was crappy, they were still the only family I had, and the bullying war against me blew up a sort of fragile detente I had with my family. I really don’t have a family any more, and I feel anger and grief about that.

I feel anger that the celebrities chose me as a target for their cruelty, when all I ever did wrong was tell them what their music meant to me growing up.

Just feeling a lot of things.

Really glad for my husband, who is on my side in all of this. We have such a good life together, he said today…screw your abusive family, and the trolls.

I know he’s right.

It’s just a hard struggle right now knowing I won’t be able to see my (abusive) father again before he dies, and I won’t be able to attend the funeral.

Crappy family but it was the only one I had and it’s been taken away from me, forever.

Not to send me right wing political stuff as it upset me and was bad both for my mental health as well as my physical health (MS is aggravated by stress, emotional or otherwise.)

I contacted him again after a period of no contact (big mistake on my part) and he got right into bullying me again with multiple political emails, especially since Trump won, a lot of it along the lines of gloating.

I told him without anger, I would not be reading or viewing any of rhe political stuff he was sending me.

This was his response.

I tried to be a loving daughter. He only wanted another chance to bully me.

I am glad to be rid of him now, in all honesty.

It is my wish that you never contact me again. You seem to think you can turn love off and on depending on you r mood. Everything is all about you! You seem to think your stupid politics are more important than your family. After all I have done for you ,you stab me in the back. Good bye forever!

Hi Honey,



I’m sorry he is such an ass. Not a surprise thought.



Love you lots!
