Hi, I'm Kelly, and this is a blog about men, women and relationships. I would like to thank the following people for making this blog possible: All of my ex's for giving me plenty of material to write about. To my daddy, for being a bad-ass. In the words of Ted Nugent "I'd rather have a hard-ass for a father, than a dishrag". And to my strong momma and girlfriends for never settling for less than they deserve.

Abuse Tactics
"I notice when he focuses on her, most of what he thinks about is what she can do for him, not the other way around. But he's not so much needy as entitled, so no matter how much you give him, it will never be enough. He believes his needs are your responsibility, until you feel drained down to nothing."
Then he'll turn around and say that you are the one who cannot be pleased. "The abuser's highly entitled perceptual system causes him to mentally reverse aggression and self-defense. The lens of entitlement the abuser holds over his eye stands everything on its head, like the reflection in a spoon." - Lundy Bancroft, 'Why Does He Do That'.
