As somebody who "has a bad temper" I easily cross the line into verbal abuse, whether passive-aggressive or straight aggressive, mean, cruel, and taunting. I am not proud of this trait, and like many people with a Jekyll/Hyde personality, I forget the things I say, which are demeaning and inexcusable. This forgetting allows me to
function as if these things do not happen. I know people I have attacked have not forgotten.
This is why I invite anyone who knows me and is still willing to have anything to do with me to please follow the advice of experts.
"The only effective way to put an end to verbal abuse is to call out the abuser each time they strike. If someone blames you for something you have no control over, you need to ignore the actual content of what's been said, identify the type of abuse employed, name it, and calmly ask the abuser to stop it."
I am still hoping that I can become a whole person before I die. It is exhausting ricocheting among the broken parts of me. Healing begins with naming things for what they are, with reality. The reality is that I am an abusive person.
I apologize deeply to everyone I have hurt. You know who you are. I know that nothing I can say can undo any pain I have caused. Please forgive me and call me out. I need to know the damage I am doing and the damage I have done. You did not and do not deserve my abuse.
