Words definitely hurt. I`d get over a physical assault sooner than a verbal assault.
My daighter has bipolar, and she`s very intelligent. When meds arent working or a manic episode breaks thru, it`s devastating for me. She saves the worst of herself for me, and there was one time I nearly had an emotional breakdown because of it. So I get how bad it is. But, as others told me at the time, it`s not about you.. it`s about her. Even if she has justifiable wounds, everyone does to one extent or another, and it is her job to figure out how to grow. It sure is hard on us moms, tho.
