Okay, when you say your father "has killed", could you clarify that? You're not just saying, he kills people's self-awareness, or kills their emotional health, or kills the truth, or something like that, are you? Are we talking about your father killing people in the way that makes their hearts stop beating and their bodies cool down?

I'm not being sarcastic. My parents "killed" a few abstractions in my life, and it's a real thing that really hurts. Just wondering.

AM: [Stuff about lying and suicide . . . .] People only kill themselves because someone else deceived them into believing they are worthless. I think there should be laws protecting people from this, but as yet it is perfectly acceptable. This is one of the reasons I cite for a ban on women filing for divorce. [Emphasis added] This is a form of violence, which is encouraged, and one of the most extreme forms of child abuse.

Whoa! I don't know what's more weird . . . the position itself, or the context in which you arrived at it. I mean, there it is, a thing unlike the rest of the paragraph, just sitting their, unjustified, provoking people.

When you call for a ban on women filing for divorce, you do mean just women and not men, don't you?

Why? How is the male-initiated divorce less harmful to children??

What do you think of mothers who knowingly stay, keeping their children, with an abusive father? Surely you've known of people who were abused by their fathers, while the mother was a harmless but useless bystander, failing to protect her children. In some cases divorce can prevent further abuse and reduce the overall "toxicity" of the home.
