Anita, I didn’t think anything you wrote was rude.  In fact, it was extremely insightful, about how bullies are and how they are formed.  I’m just guessing, and can’t speak for Lala, but I think sometimes people just get overwhelmed by all of the information and input and don’t know how to respond.  I know that happens to me.

Lala, what you say is so true, about people who can dish out so much, but can’t take it.  My mom criticized me (felt like it to me) for about 30 years (she’s been good for the last 27 years, once she chose to accept my complaints and change), but in all that time, and now, too, she can’t take even the slightest criticism, and I always think, “Jeez, what did you do to me for half my life, and YOU can’t take it?”  So, I guess that’s how people are.

It’s good that you are trying to reduce and work on the stress aspect of this whole thing, because the anger, resentment, and stress can do such damage to your body and mind.  The more you can do to help yourself overcome it (in a healthy way), the better.

I wish you peace and joy and love – every day – so you can get past this.

Actually, I wish the same to everyone here, because they are all such good people.
