Welcome. Thanks for posting. Look forward to hearing more of your story. I think my mom tried to make me the 'emasculated love dispenser' of the house... that her goal was to prevent me from becoming a 'man'... so evil and apparently dangerous that men are... yet strangely I never have any nightmares of DAD holding me down and overpowering me with his sharp angry tongue and fat body.. funny that, dangerous monster that he 'was'...
I guess you can tell I'm a tad pissed (actually frothing furious!) at the whole 'man hating' culture we seem to live in. It was extreme in our household. I remember the scolds and disapproval and withdrawal of love when I briefly got into possum trapping as a teenager because according to my mother I was a 'gentle boy' and she didn't think I was like those other rough boys. Well now I'm a rough boy! At 39 so suck on that you sour old prune!

Hey all. I think I fit here too.
After my dad died when I was ten, i became the substitute spouse. Never encouraged to spread my wings by extended family as they wanted me to stay put and look after mom, that's what I've been doing for the past 35 years. My wings were clipped right from the get go. Now I'm trying to fix me.
