It doesn't matter how strong someone is - some people are more vicious like your sister. The meaner person will usually win because they don't care about being fair or how badly hurt you are. I'm glad you had therapy and it helped. I think it's hard to ever fully escape the consequences of bullying and abuse. Lately I've been watching Buddhist videos on YouTube and they can be soothing. One thing that might also help is to think of what good might have come out of it - like you have compassion for others who are suffering. I think more men are coming forward these days who are victims of physical abuse from women.  |
Thank you for the comment. Sorry to hear about your mother. It is so true that meaner people win. Not only she didn’t care how much she hurt me, she enjoyed it more the more pain I received. Although physically I was bigger, I ended up being mentally in a state of fear of getting hurt all the time, and she knew it so she made sure I would get hurt.
It is true that more men are coming forward about getting abused physically by women but it is still slow. In our culture, there is a feeling of shame about it, like not being a man or being a sissy or wuss. I grew up with a 24 hr feeling of shame and I am still embarrassed about it to this day.
