but im really not built for the "turn
the other cheek" thing. and its even worse when
someone goes after the ones i hold dear to my
heart.

(i would be a horrible jesus.)
(i would be a horrible mary.)

i wish there were more stories about how you and the family
handled really frustrating, mean people. because i know you
were surrounded by them... like what you did when you tried with
ever fiber of your being to be loving and someone looked at you and said,
"Shut Up B****" (or whatever was disrespectful back in your day).

im just curious what you did when doing your best wasnt cutting it.
