mons: Seriously, you all need some counselling. The problems you're relating here are simply too big and too involved to be somehow solved by going online to a bdsm forum for solutions. Please contact a shelter or some organization in your area that specializes in providing help for families in trouble and/or those in abusive situations. You speak a lot about how you're a dominant and others are submissives, etc. There's a lot more to what's going on here than just the fact that you dominate, and I don't think you can explain away the behavior that describing with just a standard "he's submissive" or "I'm dominant." It seems everyone is aware of your lifestyle choices and I don't know, perhaps it's because of this that they don't seem to respect you in the least. I certainly don't know your family, so I can only guess, but either way, you need some help to figure this all out, and while it's only my opinion, I don't think we're qualified to give the level of assistance you need. I'm no therapist, but there seems to be a SERIOUS dysfunction that's in operation here and in my untrained opinion, it's way way way too big to solve through advice given in a bdsm forum. And mons, the dysfunction is really pretty much throughout the entire house. I don't think that anyone's exempt. You are all adults living in one house - at least until everyone moves, and you're going to have to find a way that is not so negative to live together. If no one else will go to counselling with you, and even if every single person moves away, I still think it'd be a good idea to go on your own. Family has this interesting way of continuing to pop back into each other's lives and you need some boundaries, some techniques of dealing with all of the personalities you've described here in a different and more healthy manner. You've been trying this on your own, but evidently, whatever you're trying is just not working. You really do need to get some help with this. Good luck to you. juliet
