Dear Stacey:

“He told me I am emotionally unstable. It hurt me deeply”- I can tell how hurt you were, and still are because of what he said. There is a lot of pain in these two short sentences.

I think I know that kind of pain because I was told the same thing, that I was emotionally unstable. It enraged me. Unfortunately, in  my case, it was true. Not because I chose that, or that there was something inherently wrong with me, but because of very disturbing experiences in my childhood.

But back to you, you can tell me, if you want to, about what hurts you so much in that sentence that he said, and why you think he said it (it could have been that he wanted to hurt you and said it for the purpose of hurting you)?

I will soon be away from the computer for a few hours.
