there was absolutely NO response i could give to my xah's verbal abuse that would work.
the defining word in above sentence being "work"
my definition meant making him realize his behavior and to stop verbally abusing me. his intent was totally different.....he was an abusive person. period. and on top of that, an active alcoholic.
i could not cure him, change him, make him see the light, embarrass him enough, humiliate him enough, yell at him enough, pout at him enough, make him feel sorry for you enough to stop his verbal abuse, or his drinking.
all i accomplished was making myself very, very sick emotionally.
and it got worse, escalated, progressed.
take care of yourself.....put him in gods hands and take care of yourself first.
god bless
