hi DJsmum2006
Yes more times than I can actually bring to conscious attention. It is a state of being which reoccurs again again as if life is theatre and the old characters - dressed ion different clothes and with new names - vary the plot slightly but the same old same old.
Find these archetypes of bullying adopt an aggressive posture and [push and push until they get a reaction. My elder brother did this and last time he came to my house I saw the micro expression of a smirk flash on his face. I concluded he had come to see me in order to upset me and I asked him what he wanted. I said I would not meet him again in my home but could meet on a neutral space like a beach. I have never seen him again in 10 years I guess. He is a Company Director and a psychopath as far as I can see. Fascinating World!
I have met many bullies in many settings in my life. When I recognise the archetype I am treat them as the enemy that they are. It still surprises me how many people adopt this archetype as it is a complete dead end. Punks all.

hi DJsmum2006
Thanks.I do not know if he is terrible though. To me sure. I think it went way back into my family which I have concluded was dysfunctional. So he was made that way not born. That cycle is what I consider terrible. I am not like that so I consider myself to have won life's lottery! Haha well maybe not but hey.

This Be The Verse
BY PHILIP LARKIN
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.
