I do not cry. About my STBXAH. I have had to develop a really hard arse to deal with his crap.
I cry when I watch Christian the Lion on Youtube.
I cry when I listen to Michelle Shocked.
I don;t cry when the people, adults, I love **** me over. I'm used to it.
One night I cried. STBXAH laid into me verbally and then my mother followed with everything she never liked about me too.
Having two people who should love you metaphorically slam your head into a wall with their verbal **** was nasty.
That was the last time I cried about real people treating me badly. Now, I am just used to it. I do not expect other adults to treat me respectfully.
