I suffered a great deal from an extremely verbally abusive mother who occasionally socked me just to show she could.

I feel so strongly about it that if I am very angry with a friend, I will hit them before I will consider verbal abuse. People recover from blows faster and better than they do from verbal abuse.

@greenmountaingal I’m sorry you went through that. As an adult, I’m realizing a lot of my traumas stem from childhood, and things I thought were normal, werent. I didn’t realize much until I read a lot of self help articles and watched a lot of informative videos, that helped me realize that my mother was not normal.
