- “It sounds like you have really thought a lot about the situation and what you want to do.”
- “You really care a lot about your children. You are a wonderful mom.”
- “You are not to blame for being abused.”
- “You are not the cause of another’s violent behavior.”
- “You deserve to be treated with respect.”
- “You deserve to make your life safe and happy.”
- “You are not alone. You can ask/have asked others to help you.”

- “I am glad you are here with me now.”
- “I’m sorry it happened.”

i like my men like i like my coffee:
It was a widely misinterpreted movie, I think…. People tend to say, “Why didn’t she end up with him? He was so nice!” But I think that he was really quite guilty of projecting a fantasy onto this girl that she didn’t necessarily deserve, and that, honestly, he was pretty wrapped up in his own selfish point of view… We’ve all been guilty of it. I’m sure I’ve done the same. And we all do it to one degree or another in every relationship. But it’s just funny to me, because I felt like the point of that movie was illuminating this guy who is basically delusional, who keeps projecting all these things onto this girl, and how that’s a problem for him, and how he then sort of grows out of it. But it seems like a lot of the people that see the movie don’t quite catch that. They just think he’s a great guy.

Nah, fans all know the truth is that Ooo is a post-apocalyptic world where Finn is the only human left. There was probably some radio activity/nuclear waste (The ice king secret tape episode shows the disintegration/end of world) involved that killed or mutated everyone, and Finn will die the last of his kind, unless he hooks up with Susan Strong (and nobody wants that).
The first one really took my breath away for a minute. It’s almost exactly what one of my rapists said to me when I confronted him.
