The police won't do anything unless she or someone sent by her meets me in person. At that point I will most definitely call the police! She has already been taken to court once for cyberstalking and cyber-harassment (although she denies it), so I hope I won't the next person to have to do it. You'd think she would learn.

Well, there've been 2 whole times in my life when I was ever scared for my PHYSICAL safety (both involving my dad), but I've never technically been hurt by them. (the first time I was too young to understand abuse fully, and the second time it honestly didn't come to mind, but I doubt they'd have listened to/helped me.) 
Just a lot of mental illnesses and emotional scars. The harder to see injuries and such.

That's sad. It's kind of the same boat I was in for a long while. My dad had and has anger issues and would cuss all the time, and occasionally would yell at me and throw things at me. They were mostly just dumb stuff like paper towel rolls, but it still hurt emotionally. My mother would never help because he wouldn't listen to her when he was in those moods, and also because both my parents firmly believe that a wife shouldn't tell her husband what to do. It's probably why I distrust men to this day and why I've never gotten married or even had a boyfriend.

!!!!!! That shit's real scary, holy crap! And the law/police won't do anything??? I'd tell them to gtfo of here if they said that to me. Idc what the laws are. I'm getting harassed and potentially having my safety and well-being threatened. So sorry that I don't wanna wait till they possibly release my address info again and ALSO possibly send someone to beat me up and/or kill me or wtf ever before I come to you to get off your lazy butts and DO something. So sorry. It really must be SO annoying.

It's probably something more serious than just "anger issues", really, because that's what a ton of people used to talk about my dad's "problems" too, and then I actually educated myself about abuse for the first time, and, thank god, learned about NPD, too. Literally 90 or more % of abusers have some kind of spectrum of NPD, OR they had/have some other kind of personality disorder that can, and did, very easily turn into NPD if it's left untreated. (My dad also drives VERY violently, and this was always excused as "having anger issues" Now I pretty much refuse to get in the car if he's gonna be in it, driving or not, unless I totally have to. Because the last time he drove and we finally got back home, I was shaking. There'd been at least 10 or more near-accidents he'd gotten in to and from church.) I'm really sorry you had to deal with that, though. :/ People can be real jerks, and I can promise you they both knew just how wrong what they were doing to you was. They have no excuse to use as defense.
Yeah, my mom sometimes did and sometimes didn't step in (if/when she was around). If he was REALLY mad, she never bothered because anything she said would make him angrier. And most of the time, when she DID bother to stand up for me, it was the saddest excuse for "standing up for someone" ever. Let alone their daughter. Of course she was/is part of the problem causers as well, so of course she was/is totally useless when it comes to trying to fix damage done. 
That's a bullshit belief. And emotionally and mentally damaging to your mother, whether it's a moral for her or not. So it's doubly harmful. Sexist beliefs are complete trash and bullshit. My dad believes the same thing, and before I would go into debate about it, but now I'm just like "fuck off. I'm a woman and I don't need your sexist bullshit. I'm gonna say what I want to you and engage you as little as possible if I want to, and you're just gonna have to deal with it. Fuck your 'morals.' I don't want any part of them if they're harmful, disrespectful, and degrading to me."
I don't blame you at all. I used to be that way too :/ Fortunately, I met a very kind, loving, and caring man that's always only ever treated me like a fellow human being, despite my gender, sexualities, and our age difference. We've been together for 4 years now, and I know he's the right one for me, if nothing else, because my parents can't stand the thought of me being together with anyone. Especially him. : ) Even though they'll never admit it to my face. : )))) So I really hope the same thing happens to you, if that's what you want <3 (And btw, there's LOTS of awesome vids on YT that talk about abusers-by actual abuse survivors and not just people talking out of their butts-and can help you notice all the red flags in people. Men or otherwise. SpartanLifeCoach is the best place to start, because he really talks about ALL spectrums of people with NPD/abusers in general AND even a little of other personality disorders too. So that you can know the steryotypes, and minorities, practically inside and out, and know who to hold on to, and who to stay away from.)

If she confronts me in real life, I'll definitely call 911.

What is NPD? My dad doesn't sound as aggressive as yours. I don't know if he has NPD, or if he does, it's not all that strong. He's kind of an agressive driver. It depends what happens around him.

I'm torn because the Bible treats women as less than men, even in the New Testament. I'm a Christian, though, so I'm not sure how to reconcile it. Are you a Christian? I'm beginning to think Paul's sexist verses are either misunderstood or were meant for specific churches.

GodsGirlRachel In reply to MonocerosArts [2016-01-14 01:04:37 +0000 UTC]

yeah, no kidding : /

It stands for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Where a person literally acts like a narcissist but so extremely that it leaves any one that comes into contact with them (especially any of their children), usually, with SERIOUS issues that need addressing quickly, and will never get closure over from the one that caused it. Not REAL closure anyway. 
But, just like there's a big difference between an abuser that will violently rape someone, and a verbal abuser of a bully, there's also a big difference between an "overt" narcissist and a "covert" narcissist, and tons of things inbetween (cause mental illnesses are on things referred to as a "spectrum"). 
I always tell people (at least the ones clearly having/once had problems with people/siblings/parents/family in general/abusive friends), about NPD and encourage them to look it up tbh, cause there's good chances it was the cause of 90% of their problems. (Unless that person had a different mental illness and no one was aware of it, and it resulted in a lot of misunderstandings of course.) There's TONS of helpful vids and articles on it, really, thank goodness.
And actually, maybe I gave the wrong impression, but my dad is a "toned down" narc too xP If you can call any of them that. Altho that really just means he's in a certain part of the spectrum but. Yeah. 

Well, unfortunately, back then, women were treated/considered to be property. So, sadly, a lot of what MEN write about women in the Bible is very sexist in that regard. (Yes, I'm also a Christian : ) I'm much more of a liberal one than I was raised to be tho xD) But there's important things to remember in regards to women in the Bible.
1. There are no "weak" women in the Bible. Any and every single one of the good women it tells the story of, are VERY strong in different ways. Especially back in those times. 
2. You know that verse where Jesus is saying it's foolish to pour new wine into old wine skins? It's a metaphor for changing ideals and morals. (As well as other things too I'm sure, but most certainly for changing times/people)
He was saying that it's very foolish for people to put new, good, fresh, different morals/ideals into the old, harmful ways. He said it's GOOD to "change with the times". (And He also already stated what are exceptions, which are really very simple and only the "sexual immorality" one is debated very heatedly. Not that it needs to be cause there's simple answers to that one, too.) So if it is found over time that it's harmful to treat/think about genders in certain ways, be they man, woman, or anything inbetween, then it IS fine, and even right, to change the way we look at things, and change how we act accordingly. <3 
To me, that's really comforting XP And to think. I learned all that when I was googling up "Is it ok to be gay and Christian" xD (cause I had always only ever heard it was a sin and I wanted to learn the other side of the argument. It's actually very intelligent and makes WAY more sense and explains WAY more than the side I'd been raised on. Hence why I have more liberal ideals now in pretty much everything but abortion XP Cause those ideals, science, and the Bible, all match up when you really dig down to the bottom of things <3 It's actually really cool~ ^^)

I honestly don't know if that's what's going on with my dad. He'd certainly never rape anyone, I know that. He does seem to be bound in on himself, though. Every time he starts a project, he turns it into a family affair, even if he could totally do it by himself. I don't mind helping people, but this is weird. Anyway.

Yes, I'm finding that, too. It's all about reading the Bible in context. When Paul was telling women not to be leaders in the church, he was written a specific church. As for husbands being the leaders of families, I think God designed most men and women to work out that way (I'd certainly never be able to lead a family), but I don't think God wants people to value that family structure so highly as to hurt anyone. Obviously if the wife is the better leader, she should be the one to lead.

GodsGirlRachel In reply to MonocerosArts [2016-01-14 02:32:56 +0000 UTC]

well I didn't really mean that. I was just using that as an example of people in general that have NPD, and the differences with it, really.
Like how there's ppl that rape, and people that verbally abuse, two different kinds of abusers, but still abusers?
Similarly, there's different "kinds" of characters with NPD, but that doesn't mean that one person with NPD will be a rapist while another won't.
I just meant that while there's different types of abusers, there's also different varieties of just ONE kind of abuser, if that makes any sense. 

Yeah, I mean science has also shown that, when scanned, male and female brains look different and behave differently. So it's very possible that, in general, people were designed for different genders to complete each other and work together. But they don't have to be married to do that. They don't have to have kids to do that. And if they ARE married, they don't even need to be different genders to do that~ TECHNICALLY it doesn't really matter (science-wise as well, tbh), but it IS there~. Whether or not it's put to use, it's still there x3 
(Oh lord I have no idea if I could or not tbh XP)
Yeah, I mean God is Love. The last thing He ever wants is for people to be hurtful towards each other.
usually... if it feels wrong? Or seems wrong? Chances are, Bible involved, other things involved, politics involved, or not, it probably is. And chances are too that more than one of those things back it up, as well. Even if it used to not be considered wrong. Cause really in most cases it's just coming to light because more people are getting louder voices. So that doesn't mean it's starting to be wrong, it really just means that it probably always was, and we're just starting to pay attention to it. XP 
And yeah as long as someone shows the characteristics of being a good leader, it shouldn't matter what their gender is. And a really good leader knows it's their job to work equally with others, get them to work together equally, and treat them all equally in a humble manner. More like being a guide to point everyone in the right direction, rather than leading them, really.
