Don’t Abuse your Family

Yeah, I know, it goes without saying. Abusing your family physically and or mentally is about as low as a person can sink. It’s evil in every way.  Sure, you may be able to get away with it due to instilling pure fear in your kids or wife.  They may learn to cower in your presence to avoid an ass beating or a drunken screamfest.  You may just be lucky to get away with it for years.  For some reason, your family may actually stay with you – even into your old age.  But you know, one day it will come back and haunt you.  One day you may get your comeuppance.  One day your family may exact a form of revenge for all those years of you being a sociopath.

One day, you’ll fall down and break your hip. You won’t be able to get up. One day, when you are old and starting to become forgetful and confused, you might not be able to really help yourself after you’ve fallen and broken it. You’ll need to rely on those around you to help.   But you know what? One day, that help may just for some reason not be around.   You may yell and carry on for day after day, lying on the ground, crapping and pissing yourself as your body starts to fall apart.  You might be lucky here and there and get some water or a small plate of food- but really, you’ll mostly be ignored and allowed to wallow in your own stool and misery.  At some point, they will probably feel too guilty and realize that they can’t just let you die right there on your bedroom floor and finally will call EMS.   They’ll find you covered with sores, shit and scrapes from where you have clawed at your urine soaked skin.  You’ll be brought to the ER not quite dead yet, but suffering miserably – just like you exacted on your family all those years.  You’ll wish you were dead.

    In the role of a parent, or a King or a Queen…In addressing the question of whether it is better to be loved or feared, Machiavelli writes, “The answer is that one would like to be both the one and the other; but because it is difficult to combine them, it is far safer to be feared than loved if you cannot be both.”

    Chilling. But I don’t feel sorry for whatever poor bastard washed up on your shores to inspire this tale – at least there’s some justice in the world.

    I had an emotionally abusive and passive aggressive boyfriend that had Addisons. He also liked alcohol and cocaine. One day, while studying for boards, I find him seizing in the bed, with a heart rate of 30 and resp of 4 or so. I think I waited about 5 minutes to decide if I really wanted to call the EMTs or just walk back out to my pot roast and studying. Maybe leaving to do my ICU rotation that afternoon.

    But I called the EMTs…and insisted that he need glucose, insulin, calcium, etc for Addisons and it was not a drug over dose. So I saved his life for him to ruin it another day, after I had kicked him to the curb.
