one thing... I CAN NOT STAND.... is being ignored. if you're busy, say so. if you are not in the mood to talk, say so. if you are done with me, SAY SO. COMMUNICATE.
someone who has been mentally and emotionally abused will:
- constantly apologize
- need a lot of reassurance
- break down over small disagreements
- hide their feelings in order to not upset you
- have low self-esteem because of insults
PLEASE TAKE IT EASY ON THEM.
