Last Monday night, I compared the experience of being "kept" by kind men who happened to be your father or your husband to living in a fishbowl and not understanding that the ocean is a far different place. I drew a parallel to the film, "Finding Nemo." If you ever saw that film, you remember little Nemo ended up in a fish tank at the end, but he knew the difference. Do you?
One of the most difficult things to deal with is the disenfranchisement of other women who have lived sheltered lives. What I've found, though, is that our ability to empathize with others is inhibited by our own past circumstances. Some of the women who have had their lives and their children's lives destroyed in family court actually started out believing that men were kind, based on their own very limited experience of the world around them. Almost as if a man discovered this woman living in her little fishbowl with the castle and the treasure chest and pissed in it.
Tonight's show is about learning how to recognize and overcome your compassion deficit for women going through situations and ordeals that you could NEVER IMAGINE happening to you. Please call in.
