DEMOCRACY FREEDOM FOR WOMEN CHILDREN PEACE FOR US ALL

2011-02-20T09:47:00.001-08:00

Supporter of N.O.W., Female Progressives, and all and many advocacy, non-profit groups for women, children and men, healing from emotional, physical and sexual violence. I feel it all begins with emotional..".ATTITUDE IS THE FATHER OF ACTION"..Anon Human rights activist here, my goals, to open a world for women and men, which is not binded by "gender definition", that is, when a little boy is hurt,he may say so, not being socialized into what ruins our men today.Likewise, I'd like for women, not to be chastized if, after being raped, they are not beaten by the "Lady Stick", And many of us have our children snatched right out from under us, so that males with sexual problems can "play" with them. Tougher laws? You bet! Criminals are smart! They don't kill cops, majorly...why? It's an automatic DEATH SENTENCE in many states.How LESS NECESSARY is it to Not kill the people who HARM THEIR CHILDREN. Not much. I believe some folks just cannot be helped. They're evil, and cannot stop themselves. We must detain them. However..right now...let's use priorities here. Child predators, and child killers...well, they belong there, for committing a crime. But here's something new. Alcholism has a "secret". I'm looking around now, as I write. We all KNOW about this secret. How many girls/women, have been sexually abused by their fathers? I've talked to three recently, withing the last couple of days...and it seems everywhere I go..I find at least, a relative who's perpetrated this same "secret" upon a male/female child in the home. We must WAKE UP FOLKS...WAKE UP...we live in a CHEMICAL SOCIETY.We must wake up, for this is largely the reason for a sharp increase. This, and a basic base attitude that women are inferior. Oh, it's politcally correct to state otherwise..."oh, look at such and such a country..." "They are progressive." And yet the people from these countries still discard women, at the rate of used condoms. It's been true through the ages.We insult the animal...saying it's not on the level of the male, when I see THIS type of behavior. Moreover..morals, integrity, and moral IQ are responsible. Please advise on Theorey of Moral Relativity. It is an intelligence which some, adults, never reach. These are the folks who "wouldn't break into the pharmacy to save their dying child", if he had an allergic response...because it was against the law to break into a pharmacy. So, the child dies. Moral IQ dictates that we MUST break into the pharmacy, for the value of a human life is so much higher than the value of a trite law.I don't advocate the breaking of rules for it's own sake. But here...it's clear. Human life is profoundly more important to preserve, than is some small law, which is meant to keep the people in control, and stop theft of opiods, or other such controlled substances. I want non-profit management...am learning grant-writing, as I go, as I want open facilities for human beings who are victims of this society, which at times is so cruel. You think "sexual abuse cannot happen to you?" I pray not. It hurts, and it is traumatic. However...if you breathe, life can and does turn your world as you know it, upside down...your love gets cancer and dies, your mother, your father, husband or even child. It's life. Often these events do NOT occur alone. Trauma occurs when injury is large, and one cannot cope, and at times, with a series of events, well we all do the best we can. Inside, though...we break a bit more, with each trauma. The majority of female alcoholics I know, have had babies die, husbands, been victims of rape, sexual abuse, and/or other traumas. Folks don't just fall off of a chaise lounge into a vat of alcohol. Strong people NEVER want this. I, too, was strong. For everyone else. I could never let anyone in. Strong folks don't. I now let only those in, who I am sure will not hurt me. Get a clue...some folks do, for insecurity reasons, or whatever.Someone did, however die for me, and he'd come down and die for you also. I will never be in a position to judge anyone. As I said,look at life,it happens to everyone. And if you think you are better...it could not happen to you? I hope it does not. From my experience however...no one comes out of life, alive. That is, life situations hit us all.I stopped believe in God,for quite some time either. My mom had pancreatic CA. I loved her, like none other. She was my protector, and my biggest advocate. Indeed, she was a Lady! And the simple truth is that my father, nor I could deal with losing her. He tried to minimze his loss...and sadly, he could not.I knew..my best friend had forever gone. She is still alive within me. Alive,when my son and I share a cup of coffee...when we make it through the death of his father...after my son sees his body in the ER w/tubes coming out of him at 7. And when my whole family abandons us, and won't even come to visit, days after the shock of my husband's death, as one sister wanted me down...well my son and I make it through it all. My mom is there. She taught me love.(She also taught me to kick butt when necessary..ii.e., education, morals, etc.). Kohl's Theorey of Moral Relativity..Human rights, civil rights advocate. I am an American. Though I have not supported our past president's decisions..I REMAIN a proud American. I have family who have served this country.We are a FREE country!We REMAIN free, because we are NOT communist! If you are a communist supporter,I don't hate you, but I disagree with your politics, and I challenge you to MOVE TO A REAL COMMUNIST COUNTRY. However, do NOT stand up and dis ME, because I am an American.For I REMAIN PROUD to be one.I hate Communism though, because it does not allow freedom!Dissed by the Communist female, DEFEATING FEMINISM EVERYWHERE is what communism does..ask Hillary Clinton!

who like a sly fox, and with no real conviction, now hides herself as a socialist. I most dislike her, NOT for her communist thoughts, but for the fact that if one believes in something...one should take the heat for it. One twelve year old girl, during a shooting incident in our country (Columbine, to be sure..), was asked if she believed in God, while the gun was trained on her. Be a WOMAN. This girl, replied softly, "yes". And you say, now you are socialist, because I stated I would tell everyone you were communist? I am who I am, and must take the heat for that. But know what? No one else may like me..who cares..no one's paying my way! But I LIKE ME. Try it sometime..stand up for what you believe...instead of hiding. You too might even be able to respect yourself.COMMUNIST MEN DO NOT HOLD WOMEN IN HIGH ESTEEM...THEREFORE THE HUGEST REASON I AM NOT A COMMUNIST SUPPORTER...THEY OBJECTIFY WOMEN SEXUALLY AND DISCARD THEM LIKE CONDOMS. And so, there we have it. I was left out of this social circle, made fun of, ignored, etc., etc...lol...lmgao...and'ya really think I wanted in? LMGAO...I HATE GROUPS THAT OBJECTIFY WOMEN...I'D JOYFULLY BE A ONE MAN ARMY AGAINST ANY COMMUNIST MEN! OR WOMEN, FOR THAT MATTER, AS THEY ARE PART OF THE REASON WE ARE ABUSED IN THE WORLD! If you aren ot for women and children...I don't want you in my life. Then this woman...actually joins...an american outfit...lying all the way...that she's a socialist..."Save the Children"...ok..all info beyond this is anonymous, as it's personal to someone I know. Unlike cere palin, I don't want to be a part of the brain which incites violence. Oh, the other point...my religious views. This of course, is my opiate..according to the communist party. My opiate. Actually, though they are completely incorrect, Marx originated this thought...and he was a socialist. It's not for everyone. Religion surely can be an opiate, if one is addicted to it. But if one uses it to become a better person? Well, perhaps they are more intellectual than most. Whether you believe or not...check out Theorey of Moral Relativity, and see if you are on the charts...it's intriguing...

My blog is based on my own experience w/physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. It happens believe it or not, sometimes episodically, in NORMAL families. When a loved one dies, gets ill, etc..when LIFE happens...alcoholism/substances may become present in various forms. This leads, in my experience to aberrant behavior on the part of the user(s). Suzie Somers talks about "the secret" in alcoholism. Why do so many of us have this secret? Why? It is one that must be told, and we must shatter the idea that child molesters alone are perpetrating this. Many times we have onboard, a person who has alcoholism...and may have a degree or more of dysfunction..i.e., sexual addiction, compulsion...even such as child sexual abuse. In order to treat these folks...we must stop making it impossible for them to come forth. We must. We must also be honest...these are NOT, that awful house down the street! If you have alcoholism in your family...you may indeed know about this secret, or have one yourself. BREAK THE SILENCE, break the cardinal rules of alcoholism...TALK TRUST AND FEEL. The rules of active alcholims don't talk, don't trust, don't feel. We have not caused it, we cannot control it, and we cannot cure it...man this one is a hard pill for me to swallow. I cannot cure it. Nursing/alcholism counseling are my majors! I cannot cure it. Nope, and worse...even worse...I am powerless over all people, places, and things in my life. There is GOOD NEWS though...I have a program...al-anon, and AA...as I'm codependent as hell. I know in my head...someday fully in my heart, that when I let God have all of my problems, I've taken a step towards power! I'm also powerless over me? And yet that's an oxymoron...not really, but over my defects of character. God...something else, yet???? Ok...well...this is going to be fun. I want to stop sexual trafficking...rape...abuse of women, men and girls and boys. Please also support the circle of love formed for @ScottBrown after he disclosed what happened to him. It's important..really important that men be able to come clean...when they are small children...and not have to carry this for years.It is equally as important that little girls be taught at a young age, to talk, to not keep secrets, that they WILL BE BELIEVED. Too many kids end up dead, or gone..w/o being able to carry the secret. We all have something we can do to help, and NEED I SAY THAT WESTERN MEN ARE CONTRIBUTING IN LARGE PART TO THIS...AS THEY ARE PAYING FOR, OR USING THESE CHILDREN..TEENS, BOYS, ETC? If you know of a man who uses underage girls, or underage boys...please call police...save the kids. Please, call police immediately. Keep telling, if you are a child, or an adult in recovery...UNTIL YOU ARE LISTENED TO AND BELIEVED. It is important also, to realize that many of the missing children (my son and his little female friend were almost one), end up trafficked...it is why my site is covered with this. Thank you God, I'm neurotic! I got this from my mom. But a sexual predator spoke to my son, when I'd gone into my house, for a "sec", only to come out and find my son, with his hand on the car door, asking,"mommy, is it ok to get in? He knew well it was not, but this man had promised him, a new bike." His little friend Rachel, 5, stood in "horror"...feeling she might be next. We must DO A LOT about this...it is MEN WHO FEEL IT"S OK TO PERPETRATE THEIR ADULT SEXUAL SCHEDULE ON CHILDREN (SOME WOMEN ALSO0, and it has to be severely dealt with. If we do NOT protect our children in a society, our most treasured and vulnerable...how are we any better off than animals. For each of the species, has it's own holy way of protecting their young. Each one does. Why, oh my God, oh why...are we falling so short. I'm linking up with Womens News Media, for this reason. "We", collectively speaking are NOT valuing our young, or keeping them safe! Why do I say this? What are the sentences for child rapists? Child killers? What are they? Why often has a repeat offender...killed a child eventually. It is because sexual illness, violence...it's on a continuum. A continuum in which we ALLOW these predators to follow. FORGET about their rights..know why? THE VERY MOMENT ONE TRANSCENDS THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE...unfortunately, in my mind...THEY HAVE LOST THEIR RIGHTS...AND THEY HAVE DONE IT TO THEMSELVES! Child predators? KILL A FEW! Hey, almost NO CRMINALS INTENTIONALLY KILL COPS! Why...well let's look at it. OFTEN AND IN MANY STATES THE DEATH PENALTY IS INVOLVED. It IS a deterrent. DEATH PENALTY FOR CHILD SEXUAL PREDATORS, RAPISTS, AND CHILDKILLERS. If we value human life so much...THE DEATH PENALTY will stop, their behavior. ALL crimnals THINK TWICE before killing a cop. Wouldn't it be nice, if they THOUGHT TWICE, BEFORE MOLESTING A CHILD? Hey, change the laws...KILL ONE OR TWO...in every state, and they will!

Complex Stress Disorders

2011-02-04T09:32:00.000-08:00

OK...THIS is required reading as well for complex stress disorders, at Harvard...I absolutely want to take her trauma classes...I KNOW she's had it going on, for some time. She's done this work with incest and trauma victims, as far back as I can remember as an adult. A gifted woman. This book is particular to complex traumatic stress disorders.

TRAUMA of incest sexual abuse...

2011-02-04T09:25:00.000-08:00

About ten years before Dr. Herman wrote this book...it happened to me. I left my home to go to the Dr.'s office, that I'd seen for my childhood...unable to stop shaking. At nine in the morning...I sat across from him. Dr. David Cilento, of Scituate. I asked for the morning after pill, as I'd been raped, I felt. Thank you God, he gave me something to begin, what would stop a pregnancy, my menses. I knew little about dating, as I was too shy, my mom had been ill for some time...w/pancreatic CA, and I died, when my mom, die, as I knew, my protector was going before me. But was she really? She left me alone w/him, that he may do this. No, it hurt to look at, most family, could not bear to hear it. I knew what they meant...for inside...at times, I still shake...unable to stop the trembling...it simply won't stop...and it's been there, ever since I awoke, that Saturday morning. I met Dr. Herman as a social worker specializing in this. However, she loved this so much, she dedicated her life to us, and honestly...love is what she offers. Thank you Dr. Herman...right on, for going back to school and chasing your dreams, for this is the legacy you have left, even for those survivors, you try to help. Her reading is now mandatory reading at Harvard in Trauma Studies, as well it should be. She's a dynamic, powerful tiger, in the eyes of evil...truly a physician here to serve the ill from the effects of the wicked. Indeed her bravery in looking forward into this heinous event, has saved the lives of countless young and older women. I have seen a brilliant therapist, who's basically another pioneer in this. He's been that person, that man, who I felt, I could never relate to...a man, who has never caused me harm...but only gentleness. I've never actually seen any even unkindness for this man. However, I'd put it like this...he's a psychological surgeon, and very gifted in what he does. Guess I got lucky, and bumped into superior professionals, when I needed them. Dr. Donald Bermont, of Associated Counselors & Psychotherapists (978-452-3711)

Sharp, healing...will bring you to a higher place than you've ever been

Dr. Patti is a most compassionate, loving, and wonderful woman. She's dedicated her entire life to the treatment of young women, who have been indeed invisible, whom society is so horrified by the pain of, it wishes not to see. It hurts so much to look at what has happened to thse lovely young women...we choose to look away from their pain, for it is so awful. Indeed Dr. Patti...courageously steers into our pain, in her book. Young and old alike...she's a pioneer in the healing of what are TRULY invisible girls, except to her. When I spoke with her...she heard me...she helped me to respect myself, in a way, I'd never known...she helped me to be what no one had ever been quite so, with me...she helped me to be gentle with myself...God bless her...I feel this should be a compulsory book in trauma healing and disorders, along the vein of sexual abuse of young women...and older ones as well...(let's not be agist...winks...) Thank you Dr. P. for helping me to respect my own pain. It is what she gave me, personally, telling me to thank myself for moving the little girl inside, away from the trauma..,

I'd love some feedback on a topic.

I really need the feedback, as it's a hurtful area. Thank you in advance, for your help and sharing! :)

THE WOMEN & CHILDREN IN THE CONGO

2010-08-30T16:55:00.000-07:00

Can you imagine having men with AK47s force your son to tie you
spread eagle with posts, a child of eight or so, terrified, not even
understanding the terror. And then having these men, break your mom's
ulna and radius, hip, leg, and watching her scream and cry. And then can
you imagine them taking turns on you, after they'd all taken turns on your
precious love, your own Mama...?

WHAT GIVES US THE RIGHT TO LOOK AWAY FROM SUCH SUFFERING, DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
TO HELP THESE human be-ings? What, besides the fact, that they don't have any oil for us, nor any voice in the world, they are so impoverished, gives us the right to turn away, and not go to war for THEM.

I'm disappointed, here. I must say, AMERICA BRAGS a lot about virtue. What about these women who are losing their minds, their bodies, their children? What of them?

It sure does look like to me, that we stand nothing to profit by helping them. It is driving me crazy to know that these men fear NO RETRIBUTION, for gang raping women and children, and we think nothing, but nothing of going over to help them.

Do I live in America? Or do I live in a country which is so capitalistic, we cannot even see the pain of those who have no voice, anymore. Also, may of us are Christians. How DARE we look away! We kill Christ, each time, we do not take up the cross of our sisters, and help them, at least carry it. It matters not, what your believe, Christian, Jewish, buddhist. Anyone with a heart, would have to do something. Please join with me. I am going to write a letter to Mr. Biden, and also to Mr. Obama, as well as Sen. Kerry. Please help me, people. Please...but for the grace of God...we could have just as easily, have been born in the Congo, as here in the USA!At the very least, we can all pray for them, and for their abusers, that their hearts may soften. I know God often can do, what we cannot for ourselves. They will need Angela Sheltons' Survivor Workbook for sure. It may have to be captioned in their language.
