I know God doesn't want me to, but I agree with you. They don't even have to be physically abusive either. Mental and verbal abuse is just as bad I think. I went to a women's shelter once and I told them I felt bad for being there because I hadn't been physically abused but the ones that had dealt with both said they'd rather deal with physical abuse than mental abuse.

Yeah, but I also think they fail because the types of people that go to prison are the types that aren't likely to change themselves. Most of them are career criminals.

XD Max starts getting crabby about 8 PM and if someone moves their feet a lot he'll bite at them. He acts like a crabby toddler that didn't get a nap. XD

Poor cat. I hate parasites too. I can't imagine what purpose they serve on this planet.

Exactly. Some things are so bad that they negate any good the person does.

Good for your parents. I just think it's really hard for most people to learn their lesson. I'm glad it worked for your parents though.

Wow. People are harsh. I dealt with a lot of that when my son was in residential care. Anytime another kid broke my son's nose, jaw, etc. they never did anything about it no matter how much I complained. :/

I'm glad your dad got out of that place. They remind me of the way some foster parents act. They just want a paycheck but don't want to work for it.

Definitely! If people can do better they deserve a second chance.

XD He must have thought you tasted good.

I know right. Maybe they're just population control?

Reminds me of my dad. :/

Absolutely! I wish more people felt like your uncle. I'm glad he turned his life around.

I probably should have. I definitely would have if my son was different. There are consequences to starting trouble. He likes to get somebody really mad so that they'll hit him. Or he'll do something awful to somebody behind their back and then get beat up when they find out. No matter what I say he won't leave people alone.

Amen. I hate that too. I can't even understand why someone would go to work at a nursing home if they don't like old people. What are they thinking? O.o

That's great. I'm glad he's better.

You're probably right. I never thought about it like that before. I'll give it some thought. Thank you.

XD

Well, it would be if we didn't save stupid people from themselves. XD

I just have to say that your art is great! I love the dolls you made and you even made a Day of the Dead one.

Wow. I'm sorry your mom had to deal with that. And from family no less.

I don't know why people make excuses for them. There is no excuse for anything that awful. Yes, it is. It's enough to make a person sick with anger.

Well, these were very good. Yes, please. Make more arts. XD

I don't even know what's gotten into me. To be honest, I'm more into animal collectibles. Dolls are more Tam's thing, but for some reason, I really like this site and most of the dolls on it. Plus, I love all of the avatar choices.

That's kind of what happened to my cousins' stepmom. Her wheelchair was rubbing her leg and it got infected and she died. I couldn't believe no one noticed until it was too late.

I understand. I have hobby ADHD too. XD

Me too. I collect pretties, stuffed animals, stamps, stickers, etc. I have a small art collection but mostly I just collect pets, items, and clothes.
