Cianna,

It’s never easy to move past verbal abuse like that and I’m sorry you had this experience. The most important thing to remember is that people who lash out at other people that way are hurting and probably don’t know how else to interact with the world. That certainly doesn’t make their actions acceptable, but it does underline the fact that you have the option to take the high road knowing that they are small-minded people with holes in their hearts. Have compassion for them from afar and then move on and make it a point to avoid treating anyone else the way they treated you. They say living well is the best revenge. All my best,

Ashley
