U know Stigma I live with someone who,because of his issues, frequently calls me horrible names and says mean things to me and u know what I think? I think I can walk away and not hear his words but he cannot walk away from himself. What I can be happy about is the choice to be on the receiving end even if I don't fully understand what prompts the sending unit.

I grew up in an atmosphere like that. I think you're very wise to view your situation the way you do - you can walk away but the other person cannot walk away from himself. I agree, that is something to be happy about.

Thank you for your comment, I bet it can help quite a few people look at their own situation in a different light.
