Some observations:
In 1999 my mother, because she viewed what I had been doing negatively and because she thought (?) that the following would 'help' or 'correct' it, punched me hard with a clenched fist on the chest - repeatedly. So I restrained her by grabbing her wrists forcefully. Which bruised them. She reported this.
- So I became classified as a "VIOLENT" offender
Which led to [things]
Money
When my sister died (of the same cancer that got John McCain), in an argument over payments/getting-money/for-who/etc, my mother kicked my father (violently) on the shins.
- The steeley-eyed MacMillan nurses (witnesses) advised him to report it and prosecute her
- Many years later, when my mother punched me again repeatedly and bit me (drawing blood), I really hurt her (wounded a foot/brokebones-or-toretendons), saying "you think violence is funny?"
In great desperation, and in great indignation, a while back, needing a somewhere to live my mother said:
- "I wish I had had an #abortion when I had you!!!"
- She really meant it. And was spitting in anger. (But not violent. ... mmm?).
Mercifully she later found a nice flat, as she/I/and my-Elders all had agreed would be best.
Almost every one of the sad-and-serious arguments/fights/resentment/righteous-indignation and not-speaking/disowning among the family have been about money/resources.
Right-to-die?
My sister, with terminal cancer, became distressed at one point and felt she should "have the right" to kill herself (or be able to pay/comission someone to kill her). She got very impassioned about the "right to die", and wrote a fiery piece, which was published in the THES. However, the assisted suicide was not permitted (at the time?), and afterwards she actually took (used/accepted/and-demanded) every single treatment option/possibility that existed at the time (including a brain surgery), and had 3 years of a really high quality (including sailing on yacht to Majorca). After she died, I wrote a little article "by-the-way: she took all the cures/and had 'very happy years of life', after all those things she'd said about her (and the) 'right-to-die'" but the THES editor chose not to publish it. He did not even reply to me, so I said he was just a "murdering bum". #WDYR?
Sex
When I was a teenager, after [X] I came to think it would be fun/good to have sex (rape) another sister. Mercifully, a little observation someone commented to me entirely short-circuited (cancelled/ceased) this unfortunate intention.
Prevention
A conversation could save all sorts of things, or even a life. SEE, SAY, SIGNPOST ... – it’s well worth talking about
Later..
My mom is very dear too me, and I #love her dearly, as she does me.
Just because "she said", or "they said", ... what?
