You're right, we do agree.
You are also right that I feel a marked degree of empathy for both the attackers, the manipulators, the frustrated and the suicidal.
It is one of the gifts (curses) from my childhood
I certainly know how hellish life can be and the maladaptive coping skills a lot of us have picked up along the way.
Is it possible to be empathetic (which I am) and still want this behaviour to stop (which I do)? I don't know the answer to that. Frankly, that very question is causing me a little conflict.
Do you mind if I babblemail you or perhaps we can meet in chat tonight.
Maddie.
