"*Why do you name-call? Generally, people name-call when they haven't developed "age-appropriate" social skills.

*Many people call names as a means of bullying. Why bully...to sense feeling more powerful and controlling over others i.e. calling women the most demeaning names to make yourself FEEL more powerful (the better, bigger or stronger gender). Calling names is more characteristic of children's behaviors when they feel frustrated."

No. I am not offended by your questions but, if they went on in the same vien I could be.
I do not think it is appropriate on a board where people are opening themselves up in such a vunerable way, to accuse them of A) childishness (haven't developed "age-appropriate" social skills. ) or b)bullying (Many people call names as a means of bullying. Why bully...).
I am NOT a quick tempered man. You must not assume too much. Because I have had a problem and am willing to admit it and seek help, does not automatically imply victimhood or innocence on the other parties involved, even if they are female. In fact, in myt wo previous relationships I was abused. Once physically by my female parter and once, both physically and emotionally for 2.5 years. Only at the end, when I could take no more assaults, did I fight back in the way I have mentioned. The rest of the time I just took it. However, because I recognise it as a problem I came looking for help. Good news yes? Unfortunately, both my abusers are still in denial and abusing others.

By the way. I do not drink or do drugs. As for what I intend to do about it? Exactly as was written in my first reply. I will train myself out of the behaviour which I appeared to have learned from my sister.
Fear not. I WILL attack and win over this problem.
