ORIGINAL: MHOO314 Yes I am going to agree with LadyM, although this could be seen as sadism, however, in most scenarios there is some gain on both sides and I don't see it---it strikes Me as an excuse for abuse--major. Ladies, the Abusive aspect is why I won't tolerate such in my life these days. Yes, the times it has happened in my past, it was during episodes of Abuse. It took me a long time, as it does many, to reach a point in my life where I acknowledged to myself that simply because someone wore the mask of BDSM, that didn't make what they were doing something OTHER than abusive. It wasn't a concept that I particularly Wanted to accept, it wasn't pleasant to contemplate, it certainly wasn't (and to a large extent still isn't) acceptable or Popular as a POV. With the various abusive prior partners - they didn't stay in my life for any extensive period of time. With the relative though (not a parent, and not sexually or physically abusive - simply emotionally abusive and extremely manipulative) - it's not as easy to find a solution - walking away wasn't an option for a very long time. Even having gotten to a point where I was able to walk away and eliminate this relative from my life - I still face the daily challenge of having OTHER relatives, as well as aquaintances, who constantly hound me with the concept that "this is your BLOOD - you can't simply treat her as though she no longer exists and refuse to have anything to do with her. You're going to regret it when she's dead and you can't Resolve Things." My continuing hope (though it may be in vain) is that they'll eventually understand that Yes.. I CAN refuse. No, I DON"T have an obligation to be around the person. And no - I won't regret having cut her off from my life completely when she dies - if anything, perhaps I'll be able to sleep consistantly without nightmares that she's going to manage to somehow insinuate herself back into my existance at that point.
