Amen, I was getting there, but there quite yet. Well said though. I just prefer the scenic route sometimes.
>>>>>You know, in my opinion it doesn't even matter if it's abuse or not.It sounds like you do NOT like being treated like this. That's all that really matters, in the end.
It does NOT sound like OK behaviour to me at all.
Love should not hurt.
I guess we have to decide what we are OK with as to how people talk to us and treat us.
In the following statements, "we all" can replace "you". This is what I believe:
You deserve safety
You deserve to be spoken to with respect
You deserve to be treated with respect
You deserve to be accepted as less than perfect
Those are some things that I believe are true.
Nobody is perfect & alot of us aren't easy to live with. That doesn't mean it's OK for people to be mean to us, or insult us, or blame us, or hurt us.
