This topic certainly resonates with me, thanks! I just referred to it on the couch thread, its probably part of what drives me crazy about being sick (i have a bad cold). I feel like a car with a broken transmission.

I remember talking to my t in the late 70's - early 80's about bullying, waaaaay before it became the thing it is now, telling her i didnt think i would be able to help my kids with this issue. She kept asking me why was this coming up now - i didnt have kids, i didnt even have a serious partner, whatever. But i realize now its because my mother is a big arse bully. I didnt realize that AT ALL back then.
