Be careful what you ask for...

I, like many others have an Amazon wishlist. I add things pretty regularly, however recently I was criticised by my family because they didn't like some of  things that were on it. The question I now pose to any of you reading this is should I feel that I can only add things that my friends and family approve of or should I be able to add whatever I want?

For those of you who want to know what caused all the upset is a few works of fiction that featured abuse. My parents claim that that they are weird and disturbing. My thinking is that whilst yes it is not a pleasant topic I don't think that people should shy away from it. Too many people are eager to sweep it under the carpet; pretending it doesn't happen. It is more common than most people think.
