There are so many of us out there that fall victim to folks we may call ignorant, petty, stupid. These people are mental or emotional bullies and I think it's time we stop being the willing victim. In cases I am familiar with it's a person who is close to you or feels familiar enough with you to beat you up mentally and emotionally and usually these beatings take place because we are not doing what they want us to do or behaving in a manner or fashion they feel we should not be. Yeah, controlling much? I think our best defense is to recognize it for what it is: 1) pathetic, 2) because of their own self hate, 3) because of their own insecurities, 4) or worst of all they are just plain hateful. Best bet to battling these types is to keep interaction time to a minimum. Whenever the stinging words start to come or the I don't love you actions start to manifest, don't react, just leave the area. I have been plagued by people like this my whole life and have learned that the last thing I do is let them get the best of me.

this article. Intuition is a cool thing.
Much love to all who are bullied by their parents.
