i really fear for the future. i’m sure you can relate. saying no is really hard. plus i can’t imagine how i’ll react the first time a kid hurts her, punches her or a boyfriend treats her like crap.

I’m there right now. My wife says I give in all the time. I do, but only on the really unimportant things. The things that matter aren’t open for negotiation, and all 4 of my daughters know that. As for the last line, I just went through that shit with my 18yr old. Her boyfriend was a drunk and abusive and she hid it well (I guess fear does that). When she finally told us about it, it was all I could do to not commit homicide. Some people think I was being rhetorical at the time. I was not. On top of that, I had to make sure no one else committed homicide. We made sure she did all the right things…file a report, get a ppo, etc. To her credit, she wised up, finally. Apparently, he didn’t learn his lesson the first time this shit happened and I choked him out…he is 23, so he isn’t a minor. A little less self-control and a little more emotion, I would be sitting in the clink right now. As it is, she’s moved on, already is alot happier, and we’ve moved on…mostly. My wife went target shooting and put his name on the target. Needless to say, bulls-eye!!![/quote]
this is my worst nightmare. I know for a fact that if anyone laid a hand on anyone in my family i can’t really tell you how bad it would be. my sister’s exhusband was a douche but never laid his hands on her. when they were going through a divorce she told me that he said if she left he would hurt her. Well… my dad and i drove over to the house and i had my dad stay in the truck. i took his ass outside and told him that if he ever even said that again i would be paying him a visit. i also told him that if he ever missed a child’s support payment that i would pay him a visit as well. He hasn’t missed on yet.
my sister has picked some winners. she once had a guy stalk her at work. she waited tables and the guy would sit in the parking lot and wait for her to get off. he would then make nasty comments and make threats. when she told me this i drove to her work and immidiately saw him sitting in his truck. i took my maglight smashed out his window and drug his ass out of it. i never actually told him i was the brother of the girl he was stalking but i’m sure he figured it out. i actually never told my sister that i did that but about a month later she told me that the creepy stalker had disappeared.
it’s pretty amazing how close i am with most of my family. a couple weeks a go i was riding my harley and a dumptruck was tailgating me. as i came up on a light the car in front stopped short to let a car in. i always make it a habit to pull to the far left when stopping behind a care just in case someone isn’t paying attention and slams into me. at least pulled to the left i may have a chance to jump out of the way or only get hit on one side. anyway… the dumptruck locks it up and slides right up beside me and taps the car in front of me. i could have easily been smooshed by this aggressive dumbass. the funny part was i told my dad this and he said that if that guy had killed me he, himself, would have only had about 6 months to live himself. I found that very nice in a sick sort of way.
