I did feel hurt and angry, because they misjudged me and mislabelled me. And were not even civil. They were not even slightly caring or understanding. They were bullies.

I was also labelled an angry person when growing up in an abusive family. I think too that some anger is a sign of self esteem, rather than allowing an abuser to treat someone like a chew toy.
