We have had several unpleasant experiences over the past few years, which have shocked us (not all involving violence), and they seem to follow a 'trend' in human behaviour. The world is becoming an unpleasant place, with people happy to behave however they wish; regardless of the feelings of others.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-15126538368920191792019-09-21T19:11:05.859+01:002019-09-21T19:11:05.859+01:00There seems to be a lot of people about who suffer...There seems to be a lot of people about who suffer from uncontrolled behaviour which is labelled as a mental condition. I think strict and disciplined schooling is frowned upon now and considered oppressive.As I age I can really see the importance of that kind of formative experience and the benefits of it. I hope L M eventually recovers from the shock of this assault. Lunatics are scary and dangerous without their medication.rallentandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06980559347805844568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-90313161204152654932019-09-21T13:06:08.961+01:002019-09-21T13:06:08.961+01:00We are staying home and not visiting again.

Several years ago a close neighbour suffered domestic abuse on a frequent basis. We had been unaware of it until she rang our doorbell one evening when I was away on business. My OH told me that she had a black eye and was covered in bruises. She went to stay with a friend for the night but returned home to him afterwards. I don't think I would have done so.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373622852406554111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-46789132265558856992019-09-21T11:46:22.938+01:002019-09-21T11:46:22.938+01:00A lesson in never being alone with this person unt...A lesson in never being alone with this person until/if they recover.

Mind you, she was 4 and I was 7 and I was so concentrated on the game of marbles that I was unaware of her presence and she never explained why she did it. But I think it was because she felt I was ignoring her. I had a lump that felt like an egg on my head for a few days. Maybe your assailant has never developed to his full potential and is frustrated. You can be happy you don't live in Chicago.
