Well, there is no excuse for personal attacks and name calling, that is a form of mental abuse. I was afraid to post at first because I didn't want to seem like I was being insensitive and I hope you didn't take it that way. I understand what it is like to be called names and constantly told you will never amount to anything and that you are basically stupid. It haunts me today and sometimes I can tell some of my actions and choices are made with my father in mind. For some reason, I'm still trying to please him or feel valued in his eyes, though I logically know it will never happen.

((((HUGS))))) Hang in there; this too shall pass! It just sucks!!!
