Reeg--I also want to say, if i was short with you, i apologize.
I do know the pain of children-especially girls growing up--they are so quick to know your triggers--what buttons to push and hurt you the most. It is awful and extremely painful...my heart goes out to you.
I did what i did when anyone hurt me, I moved my pain off to the side---my mom always said "anger is the direct result of pain" I did not let the anger come out.
I don't think i ever have---it does nothing for me.
Like physical violence, I can hurt others so much more with the written, or spoken word.......and I can love others so much more the same way.
I recall, doing that with my kids, starting at about age 7--we used to write letters to one another expressing how we felt about this or that--it was a wonderful tool.
Rather than spitting venom, we'd write, and it was an excercise for them in learning
to write, and express themselves on paper....sound good to you?--theo
