I'm working in a "helping profession" (gag) where I constantly have to take evaluate people who ask to be entered into shelter care because they feel they are at "risk of continued abuse or threat of abuse." I'm fine with the one percent of these people (men and women) who are actually proactive. I'm fine with the ones who've had one incident or threat of abuse, legitimately "didn't see it coming," (although, yeah, whatever...) and after the one punch in the head get the hell out and don't go back. I actually enjoy helping the few people who are like that.
It's the other 99% that have turned me into a Heartless Bitch. The ones who've gone back for more! The ones I put into top-secret shelter locations only to have them call the abuser and oh-so-innocently let the secret address slip out. Then they are surprised when he (it's almost always a he) shows up to kick their stupid ass again! What a shocker! Go figure! I'm tired of being put into classes to "teach me to be more empathetic" about "battered womens' syndrome" so I can "lose the attitude." I hate that I'm using so many quotation marks (is there a perky little prize for the most creative punctuation in one submission?) but I wouldn't want any other Heartless Bitches to actually think that I would use any of these terms in my real vocabulary off the job.
Anyway, other than that, my pathetic dating history is the other aspect of my Heartless Bitchiness. I've had it with men, and am resigned to live in single splendor for the rest of my blissful, peacefully-alone-and-statistically-longer-as-a-result life.
Yep, I'm one snarky, sarcastic, "unable-to-play-well-with-others" Heartless Bitch! And I'm hoping to get to know more like me! Thanks.
