I liked your post :-)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on that.I have just recently read something on 'victims' becoming the 'perpetrators' for the next 'victims'...
It is hard. When we are hurt we lash out. Humans and animals both. But in my better moments I realise that it doesn't help to perpeptuate the cycle. But it is hard. Really really hard.
>I am working on not using the word "hate" (I hate this, I hate that, not just, I hate so-and-so- the uses are just a bad habit I am trying to break).
This is something I constantly work on too. I try to ask myself 'why do I "hate" it'? Then I get to things like 'I don't believe it is helpful' or 'I believe it is hurtful' or whatever.
>I try to refrain from using words like "always" or "never", because absolutes don't really exist in my life- I may change my mind about that particular thing tomorrow if I learn something new to add to my thoughts on the topic!

> it hurts me to watch people hurt themselves over and over.Yeah. I just want to make it stop, but I don't know how.
Thanks for your post.
