Today another woman took part of her power back.  And an Angel got its wings.

And I don't mean to exclude our brothers.  There are men on here who have suffered/are suffering, as well.

I have a friend who is being double-teamed by diseases in the generation before and the one after him, and it is devastating.  It must be bewildering for a man, who's been taught that he's "supposed" to be in charge, to find himself attacked by women or his children or by other gay men, in that case.  We can feel our outrage--they are taught to take things on the chin/ to be impervious to hurt.

Bless all the Universe's children.

Temple

Amen.  I do think Al-Anon can help the men, too.

Hi Temple

how many times has our HP lead us right where we need to be.

this is my first time on this board/chat.  Unbeknown to you

i have been in an on an off again relationship with a Temple.

so I was drawn to your post. Yesterday once again I told him

his daily anger/rage/hatred at the world which he vents to me 

2-3 times a day, is getting to be too much, it's triggering my 

stress/copd.  I try to lift him up but he just pulls me back down

further so I told him he needs to find soneone else to vent to.

i then come here see your post an think, I know it wasn't written 

for me but it sure felt like my higher power lead me here to see it.

thanks for sharing, new paths
