@faithandcoffeee This is how I no longer have a relationship w/my father. He joked about my degrees and my job one too many times, & I (privately) asked him not to do that again. He insisted he was the victim & I am and always have been awful. 5yrs he hasn’t had to put up with his ‘awful’ child

@DuckieLouise My father wrote me a letter telling me I was a bad Christian for leaving my physically abusive (now ex) husband. So, yeah, men are absolutely great judges of which other men should have access to women.

@emilykmay My therapist says she sees this all the time. Men don’t want to be seen as “bad guys” so they check out socially/emotionally and wait for the wife to finally leave “out of nowhere!” as if they did nothing. Which is what they did.

@SureReality @faithandcoffeee It wouldn’t have been a small thing for him though. Respecting me in any way would have required him changing his whole worldview. That’s the thing about setting boundaries: you have to be prepared to find out that people care more about their comfort than your wellbeing.
