Sending that email to my sister 4 days ago did nothing. She never bothered to call/email/etc. me before I had that Surgery to remove my molars which while highly unlikely, there was still a slim Chance I could die. (Ironically, at one point I thought my body was going into cardiac arrest, I cried thinking I was going to die and how am I going to get through this if this continues, luckily they changed their tactics some so it didn't happen again & they said my readings were fine throughout it all but still..)

The lack of her "care/concern/love" for me is very upsetting to say the least. I mean, we haven't even spoken to each other but once in 3 whole months & that 1 time a month ago ended in a fight, which a week later as always "I" had to apologize first & I hardly ever get an apology from her, including for last time and this time. At this point, I just need to vent so, I might make a thread on it..

I found out that my brother and his wife are trying to force their five-year-old daughter to write with her right hand, because she's left handed, like me.

I don't know that it makes me unhappy as much as it does very annoyed. Poor kid. She doesn't deserve an ignorant, bigoted, hate-filled pustule on the hairy butt-cheek of the universe as a dad. She deserves better.

The irony of it is that they named her the same as a shortened version of the name I had when I first joined here.

I started out writing left handed but was forced to learn to write right handed, but that was in the 1960's, sad to learn/know such things still go on

It's sad that anyone is forced to go through that. I should know as I had to go through it and have a difficult time writing with my left hand now and my neat hand writing has been sloppy ever since then. (No matter which hand) Every where I go, I see someone telling me they too were forced to write with their right hand. I feel for that poor child.

EDIT: Btw, you really hould speak up on behalf of the child. I know you aren't the child's parent but, you went through what that child is going through so you can point out why that's wrong and how it will effect their writing/skills and such in life. lol
EDIT: Whoops, guess that didn't happen to you but someone else, still I'd speak up for the child. lol

[Jenny07]

Sounds like child abuse to me.
She will probably have many issues because of it.

My aunt is left handed and tells me the horrors of it from the 60's. Lucky he parents understood but the system didn't.

Always hate the day after an electro session.
Still had a good time with her yesterday.

[LordKAT]

They tried with my sister in the 60's and they tried with my ambidextrous son in the 90's. Why not let them learn with what they feel right using?

Is this a "im take the pen out of your left hand and put it in you right hand thing"

Because that annoys me too. Why cant I be allowed to be a some what recognisable writer with my left hand, instead of a incomprehensible writer with my right?

It always annoyed me did that one.

Just exactly who are you replying to? I don't find child abuse to be anything to lol about

Pretty sure she just mistook you and Sephirah as the same poster.  And I really doubt she's laughing about child abuse.  Most likely laughing about confusing the posts she was responding to.

In my case it was smash the left hand flat with either the pointer or the yard/meter stick then put the pencil in my right hand and squeeze it very tightly while yelling "You write with your right hand!!!"

Well, in my niece's case, it's because I'm left handed. And her parents both hate me with extreme prejudice. They don't want anything that reminds them of me. Especially in their own kids.

I don't think it goes as far as tying hands behind backs or physical coercion or anything. More just constantly telling her to use her right hand, asking the school if there's anything they can do, and rewarding her when she does.

Also, I really feel for people who were made to do this. I'm sorry you had to go through that.

God, that must have been horrid. I'm really sorry you had to go through that. When ultimately it is such a pointless thing to do to someone.

Sorry, but it hit a nerve and brought to mind several childhood things I've been trying to forget about and put behind me

Yeah I used to anger my teachers and my dad into perplexes, Id hold up my left hand and say this IS my write hand.
Of course they couldn't hear the spelling . Oh how they would point to my right hand scream that's you right hand, and id say I know, but that doesn't mean its my write hand, Because this is my write, once again holding up my left.

So obviously this lead them to scream in my face, how can they both be right hands, so id say this is my right hand, and this is the one I write with. "But you write with your right hand" , So id look confused then say no I don't, to which id get YES YOU DO, so id look at my left hand holding my pencil hold it up and say. So you mean to tell me, my left hand is my right one? NO they would say.

So I then say, make up your mind.

You say I write with my right hand, when I right with my left?
But when I call my left hand my right hand because it the one I write with, and you just said I write with my right hand, you tell me Im wrong.
Seriously I don't think you even know the difference, Between your left, right and write?

Always loved words, I really was one of those smarty-pants Nobody liked

My mom had told me when I was very little, my dad had tried to make me right-handed...I'm still a lefty.

My (soon to be ex-)wife sent me a text message that said "I'm sorry the whole cross dressing thing is weird for me and you continue to flaunt it in my face"


* the "flaunting it" thing really upset me because I never have been in feminine form around her and only do it when she is out of town visiting family that SHE TOLD ME SHE IS TOO EMBARRASSED TO BRING ME AROUND ANYMORE - I wear panties instead of boxers and have a few duffel bags full of feminine clothes, accessories, and make-up out of respect for not wearing/using her stuff... there is no damn flaunting going on here

Also, I'm not cross-dressing, dammit.  I am just trying to be comfortable in my own skin and I am so sick and tired of other people giving my brain excuses to feel shameful about it.  I love who I am and that is never going to change, so in the words of Daenerys Targaryen, "They can live in my new world, or they can die in their old one!"


It actually made me  unhappy and glad at the same time.  It gave me justification to finally just leave her.  I'm getting my own place and moving out within the fortnight (love that word and always wanted to use it)

[Jenny07]

Cleaned up all the rubbish from the car park.
Cleaners are hopeless as I always find myself sweeping it out.
Can't believe how lazy people are dumping rubbish when they don't even live here.

Also found trash from drug dealers all over the place
Scum.

[immortal gypsy]

Reading the past few posts about elders forcing children to write right handed. Can not believe such people still exist in today's world. Glad my teachers where not one of them.(Catholic school and all), and my parents let me use the hand I was comfortable with.  Sorry Sephirah
