jadia -> RE: Kicking a slave out of your home with nothing at all... (1/24/2007 5:01:57 AM)

I don't usually weigh in on topics, but this one is compelling. My old granny used to say "there are three sides to any story....your side, my side and the truth." Hearing this on the surface, one would think it was unusually cruel, however I would think further investigation would be necessary before the cavalry was rallied to her aid and the dominants declared heartless and mean. What did she bring with her? What did she offer the relationship besides domestic service? At age 43, she has no job skills or life skills to make it in the world independently? She was there for 3 months, what was negotiated beforehand? I can't think of a reason to "toss someone to the curb" unless there was a gross violation of contract or integrity. In my experience, I have only encountered situations like this twice...once the "slave" was a vagabond, travelling from Master to Master until she found one that "took" arriving at the new place of servitude with little more than a grocery bag of clothing and a few books and no intention of being somewhat self supporting. The other instance, also the "slave" arrived with two suitcases, period, and lived at the total support of the Master until she violated the basic foundation of the relationship with dishonesty, thievery, and cheating. In the second instance, the "slave" also tried to rally the community with tales of cruelty and abuse, which those who knew the Master knew were untrue. However, in the second instance, the "slave" did find someone who believed her, offered to buy her a car, move her in with them, get her established, etc. etc, only to find themselves discarded when a "better offer" appeared. Again, my old granny used to say "don't get yourself in a mess you cannot get yourself out of as easily as you got in!" At age 43, she should have known this from the gitgo. Sorry, I am cynical enough to not buy into "poor pitiful Pearl" in this day and age. Guess I am one of the hard hearted ones! best regards, jadia
