So who got taken away, Johnny?
Something happened to your dad to make him so jealous and violent. Probably It was maternal abandonment or neglect or severe abuse when he was quite young. His crossdressing www enough to get him taken away and shamed in the sixties and seventies in any places..people are that ignorNt.. is It possible your mother threatened him with exposure to gain average? Or that someone else somwhere else got taken away. Paternal grandfather?
We are a strange species, arent we?

Yes, I think so, too. It is absurd, I love the way you phrased that, TC,
, made me feel a little better.
Intellectually, I know that "they" can't haul me off without cause, the old "danger to self or others". Well, I know I am not the kind of guy to ever be a "danger to others" guy, in a potentially threatening situation I am the "run, coward, run" and "9-11, Help!!!" Kind of guy. As far as "danger to self " well, I'm on my own strict don't ask, don't tell policy. They gotta use my words or actions against me to have justification to haul me off "for my own good" - my bad if I am ever that stupid again, I won't be. If I ever choose to play "final exit" it will be very very discrete. And no equivocation that time.
But the images are so vivid in my mind, how it would go down, showing up at my house or work, cuffing me, roughing me up, locking me in the back of a car, hauling me off. A disgrace I could not endure. All "for my own good".
No, no one in my family or other experience was "taken away " like that - I've had enough vicarious fear just from reading here on PC about all of the experiences of abuse people have endured.
