[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> When her second husband smoked and drank their money away and bought himself a truck and used her to work overtime to take on debt and remodel his house, he just came home drunk and beat her every night as her thank you, and she stayed with him and didn't even try to get away.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> In the end, after 7 years of doing this to her, he was too dumb to see he'd never get a better deal than a wife that was being used as a pack mule and mistreated terribly and wouldn't leave him. He decided to file for divorce and then the week after he forced her to move out without two nickels to rub together, he called and complained that he got an electric bill and didn't have her money for his groceries.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> Then, to validate herself, she ended up in another relationship with a cheater and a womanizer who was making her work overtime so he could throw his socks and used underwear in the floor, and ask her what was for dinner when she walked in from pulling a double, and he's sitting there flipping through the boob tube drinking another gallon of milk and eating cake frosting with a spoon, next to a pile of lottery tickets (a literal 
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	pile of Powerball and Mega Millions) he would buy and then never even check.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> She lost another house to that guy. She didn't even fight them for anything she earned in court. She just got another divorce lawyer bill for $10,000 each time and lost 160% of what she put into it.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> I tried to get her to leave. Do you think she listened to her son? She threw ME out of the house because the second one told her how that was gonna be and I ended up living in a terrible sleeping room where the people downstairs were making drugs and I froze in the winter and didn't have enough food to eat, and it was $60 a week because there's no way they'd get anything else out of that.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> So, family....You know how it is.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> She's always gaslighting me telling me how dumb I am. I'm not dumb enough to stick around for 20 years of that and have to file bankruptcy over two houses when one of them died (second one) and $11,000 in IRS debt, and two predatory car loans I took out despite having a functional vehicle with a couple of rust spots on it.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> The thing about gaslighting is, most people never realize what's going on here. Gaslighting and DARVO are my mother's main contributions into my life. Telling me how everything I think is stupid and everything I've ever done is wrong when she's conducted her own life ten times worse.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> But I told you that so I can tell you this. I could beg her to see things for what they are, I could plead with her not to.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> I'll never get her to change her behaviors.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> Somewhere in that messed up head of hers, she wants a man who is no good telling her what to do. And if it's not Beavis and Butt-Head (husbands 2 and 3), it's that preacher of her's at church telling her to throw all the money she still has at them, or a used car salesman telling her what a great deal she got on someone else's mistreated bankruptcy repo that never had an oil change and comes standard with a $3500 financed extended 
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	warranty that never pays for anything.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> She extends this into her politics too, and you know who she supported. I don't even have to say his name. He acted like all of her ex husbands and a used car salesman, so it went to work on that part of her brain.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> I will never change my mother, and you will never change your daughter. She's going to have to learn, if she ever does. And all you will get for trying to steer her in a better course is yelled and screamed at, called crazy, and stupid, and ignored while she continues hurting herself, financially and otherwise.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	> My mother finally decided that getting married was the problem, not the fact that she's got mental health problems and is unfit to recognize which partner would be in her league. She was a nurse for over 40 years and ended up with (other than my dad who was an engineer), truck drivers and maintenence men who flung their used underwear across the room, cracked open a beer, and watched NASCAR while she was busting her butt working 
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	doubles all week and making them dinner.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:03]	IsambardPrince	> I told her, "You're right. I've been telling you this for 15 years now. If you can't do better than this, stop stop STOP!" and only in her 60s did she listen to me.
[09:03]	IsambardPrince	>  
[09:03]	IsambardPrince	> I'm not trying to bag on my mother. I've made poor decisions, but I learned something from all of them. I bought a car, it fell apart, I learned that people will try to slip a bad car in on you that they're having trouble with. Thankfully, I was 18 and the car was only $2,000 and that's all it took to teach me the lesson. Unfortunately, it was a hard lesson. At 18, $2,000 was a lot of money to have to come up with again when that 
[09:03]	IsambardPrince	piece of junk broke down on me.

[21:03]	IsambardPrince	The only women in The Handmaid's Tale that seem to hold any power over some of the men are the Aunts, and Margaret Atwood was obviously inspired by the Jewish Ghetto Police that the Germans endowed with better treatment in exchange for turning on their own.
[21:04]	IsambardPrince	The Jewish Ghetto Police were basically just a group of traitors and thugs that kept the other Jews in line so the Germans wouldn't have to directly handle them so much. Many of the Jewish Police ended up in the concentration camps in the end as their reward. But they got better food for a while.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	Don't ever underestimate what people will do for food when it comes down to it.
[21:05]	MinceR	don't underestimate what humans will do in general

[21:06]	IsambardPrince	About the only weapons most of them were allowed to carry was a big stick to clunk other Jews over the head with.
[21:06]	IsambardPrince	In the Handmaid's Tale, the Aunts carry around shock batons that they can hit or zap other women with.
[21:06]	IsambardPrince	But the regime doesn't arm them well enough to be a threat to the (all male) Guardians.
[21:08]	IsambardPrince	The Jews in the Polish Ghetto eventually committed to an armed uprising near the end, when the Soviet Red Army was close. They had been secretly storing away guns and grenades and stuff they had been stealing from the Germans slowly enough to go unnoticed.
[21:10]	IsambardPrince	They realized they would likely all or mostly be killed in the uprising, but it was either that or go quietly and they would all die. So, faced with hopeless odds, they decided it was better to take some of the Germans down with them.
