ORIGINAL: akbarbarian I'm having her copy, by hand, this thread to then read it out loud to me. That will ensure everything has been gone over with a fine tooth comb, and that we both will have examined the situation in great detail. One thing I like about having a thread like this go up, is that even the points of view that are very unhappy with me or my methods give various points of objection a chance to be heard. I know when you're upset, it feels alot better to at least feel like you've been heard. By having 20+ people say what they didn't like about what I did or didn't do, it not only voices some conserns she may have thought of, but a few objections she didn't have the words for as well. This effectively defuses the situation, and my being aware of possible objections, it enables me to see what could be considered wrong in a given situation even if I'm still confident that I'm on the right course despite objections. Those who think I'm here to rant, whine, or get my back patted may not read this post. Even if they do, they may choose not to accept the meaning or the truth of it for their own reasons. Perhaps it's easier to believe I'm a villan, or that I'm shallow and lack the fiber required of me. Naysayers will not keep me from my course however, and those who have helped in any way, I again thank you. Now this makes sense, and well done! The reason you got a lot of hostile responses was because you missed out a vital piece of information in your OP - the fact that you have this personality disorder. If you'd said that right at the outset, you would have got more constructive replies. Your ability to have and keep a slave will depend on sometimes having to get objective outside views since your "vision" is skewed by your disorder. It will also depend upon her ability to "manage" the aspects of your disorder that impact negatively on her. That will take time and patience and may be more than she bargained for. She will also need support. You also said in your profile that you operate on what works and what doesn't - this would work, but you have to give people all the information before they can help you. :)) LH
