:21:00
I certainly didn't have
a sex positive upbringing.

:21:03
- No?
- No, not at all.

:21:05
Very sex negative.
Very strange actually.

:21:09
My family life was very dysfunctional.
:21:12
I have more mental cruelty with him.
:21:15
- Don't side with him.
- Why?

:21:18
I'm disappointed in my marriage.
I stuck it out.

:21:22
I made a home for him.
He doesn't deserve a lot of things.

:21:25
He is a selfish man.
His sister told me when I married him.

:21:28
She said,
"He's a very peculiar, eccentric man."

:21:32
And you're not peculiar and eccentric?
:21:35
No, I'm not.
I'm a loudmouth, not eccentric.

:21:37
Where is the dish?
:21:48
- How do you feel?
- Don't you come near me.

:21:52
- What you did is unforgivable.
- Strong like an ox.

:21:57
She's stubborn,
that's what keeps her going.

:21:59
How would you like it
if I'd broken your legs?

:22:01
I didn't break your leg.
You didn't fall.

:22:03
- I just barely touched you.
- That's a lie.

:22:06
My parents weren't alcoholic
or drug addicts.

:22:09
I never had those kind of experiences,
:22:12
but as far as emotional dysfunction
:22:15
it was highly emotionally dysfunctional.
:22:17
- In what sort of way?
- My parents didn't love each other.

:22:20
My mother probably hated my father,
very early on.

:22:23
She treats me like a slave in here.
She orders me around.

:22:26
You treat me worse.
:22:29
- That must be Jenny.
- It's Jennifer.

:22:32
You don't give me a chance
to be nice to you.

:22:34
The day I got married to you
you were not nice.

:22:37
Why did you stay married to her
all these years?

:22:41
Why didn't you get up and leave?
:22:43
My father was very aloof.
Sort of like the "shadow father."

:22:47
I don't have
a lot of early memories of him.

:22:50
Certainly
he was not affectionate with me.

:22:52
He was not telling me I was the
most wonderful little girl in the world.

:22:55
I never heard that
at all from my family.

:22:58
I always felt sort of left out.
