It makes me sick to think of just how abusive I have been. I think it could be why I am always attracted to alcoholic and addicted people. I can order them around and be abusive and vent my anger and not think twice about it because after all, they are alcoholic and/or addicted and therefore Less Than, right? I mean, they actually DESERVE it, don't they?
Really? I never would have guessed this about you. I read your posts all the time and never knew you had been a drinker.
What do you mean they are "therefore less than, right?" Less than you or less than right?
