Adding Euthanasiast to the list of Dopers not to piss off.
Dang. That was beautiful!

It was a whole pack when I left. :eek:

Otherwise, amazing rant.
Frankly, I am stunned. I couldn’t read all of it without risking burning my corneas with the brilliance of the blaze. And all of it original! My hat is off to you, sir. It was the greatest ever. :eek:
But seriously, can you still contact the daughters? It can only help them to know that their recollections are true, that they were not responsible for their mother’s condition, and that there is somebody who understands the hell they lived through. Al-Anon might help them, too, if they haven’t already tried it.
Top notch. I hate that you have to feel that level of pain to produce it, but damn. Writing like this is why I like the pit. Why I like this board in general for that matter.
Live well, my friend.
It’s times like this that I can honestly look back at my exes and say, “sure, she was one crazy bitch, but y’know? She wasn’t that bad.”
He also used the wrong spelling of “roll / role.”
But that said, it was brilliant.
Makes me wish you had been married to my ex-husband, so you could write another one. Delighted to have you aboard, Euthanasiast.
…can only write sentence fragments after reading that, apparently.
Great rant. Left me a little sad though, as I can only imagine the level of hurt you must have in order to write something that strong. I hope it truly was as cathartic for you as it came across.
standing ovation
Brilliant, my man. Just brilliant.

Please come back to the thread, Euthanasiast. I would like to worship at your feet.
makes mental note never to write another Pit thread
E.
I laughed.
I cried (from laughing).
I laughed more.
I cringed (but continued laughing).
I have read and composed many, many angry rants in the course of my life. I thought I was an angry, vitrol filled person. Compared to you, I am a scene from Disney’s Bambi. I am a field filled with Pansies and Dasies and butterflys. I am nothing.
I laughed heartily at your ander, and your language. But I also sympathise with your pain and anger. I was on that road before, and was luck enough to get off before it got quite that bad.
Kudos to you, and good luck in the future.
I won’t say “great rant”, it feels too much like congratulating you for your pain. But I must say wow. I have a feeling that you’ve been writing this for a while, or at least cookinging it in your mind so to speak. There needs to be a monuement for rants like these.
And to those who say the sexual imagery is too detailed, I say this is the fucking pit, and that this rant would not have been nearly as anti-beautiful without it. It doesn’t show unresolved issues, rather it is the best way to convey the disgust he has for this bitch. Forgive me Euthanasiast, for speaking for you, but I can’t let others nit-pick such a masterpiece.
My respect is quadrupled because I know I could never write this. I would have already yelled it in the bitch’s face and then gotten my head bludgeoned or my penis cut-off by said vengeful bitch.
Move away, now, and get that restraining order renewed. It doesn’t sound like she’s hit rock bottom yet, apparently she can still afford booze, but when she does, it sounds like you’re the one she’ll stab to steal money for crack.
Let me be the first to pat you on the back for “taking the grenade for the boys” for those 2.5 years. That was truly a selfless act…and even a bigger pat on the back for surviving it. Even though she ruined hundreds or even thousands of lives, I’m sure you saved quite a few yourself during those 2.5 years.
I truly hope your feeling better after giving birth to that 16 pound rant.
Sigh See how pissed I was? I couldn’t keep the friggin gender correct! :smack: I really need to learn to take a “cool down before post” break when I get that mad. :mad:
::Bowing in humble awe::
Truly a magnificent rant.
We should have a new section for the SDMB - Classic Rants From The Pit. This deserves to be immortalized.
Wow!!! Great rant Could have been there but i guess i bailed in time.
You know, I generally don’t care for this particular genre of rant. But great art transcends genre. And this rant was truly great art.
10/10.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
