ORIGINAL: ownedgirlie Thoughts to ponder, CreativeDominant, and I will. What I meant in my post, however, was not about emotional damage by a break up. I meant in the case of a slave who hands herself over in full to a Master, giving him control of her heart (emotions) and mind as well as body. She follows his lead, and begins to want what he wants. If he leads her down an unhealthy path, which she does not recognize as unhealthy, it can be emotionally damaging. Or there is the case of the Master who becomes the slave's foundation, only to abandon her without a word. Therefore, when some people hear about a Dom who doesn't know (or care) what he is doing, they might be quick to shake a stick at him (or worse), for taking on more than he ought to, and potentially really hurting or traumatizing another human being. I did not mean to imply at all that Dominants do not get hurt when relationships end. Although I will admit that is something I have had some interest about. Thank you for your insight. I'm going to chime in here as one of those dominants that got to watch the train wreck in slow motion...We had one come here and believe me, she could talk the talk and walk the walk. I saw it first mainly because I don't work and am home all day (Which is most likely why we didn't get as badly ripped off as others had.. she had no chance to go through our belongings) When Scooter got home she was good as gold to both of us and if I brought up certain behaviors that I saw and experienced during the day she would cry and ask Scooter why I was always picking on her. He was lost, he couldn't believe that she was doing all the things I had told him about because of the way she always acted around him. Luckily we had a very dear and trusted friend down from Michigan visiting and she backed me up... told Scooter all that happened and how this wannabe treated me during the day. The time finally came when she stepped way over the line and I packed her things... that's when I truly found out just how bad it could have been. She had papers (Important things, like SS#, bank account numbers, pay stubs, life insurance papers) from previous "victims". She didn't get those back, I contacted the people and mailed the papers back to them and found out an amazing amount of stuff about this girl. Had she been given the chance to go through our papers and such she could have laid ruin to our bank accounts... as it is she only got by with stealing around $150 from our account and $60.00 from our wallets. Scooter was devastated, so much so that he nearly walked away from a lifestyle we both truly love. I'd like to say that was a rare occurance but it wasn't. It happens a LOT. Self proclaimed submissives and slaves that are only it it for self gain. Male and female. Being a dominant is no easier a path then being a sub/slave. We are not naturally "safer" or more protected. I completely agree with Erin here... it's very double sided when it comes to saying someone is a wannabe. It's ok to say "they aren't a dominant" but you had better have on hellova flame proof suit if you say it about a submissive or slave. And we've all seen it countless times and I doubt if this thread is gonna change much about that... but it's a damn good try Erin, thank you for posting it.
