Sometimes there are people in our lives who, for reasons known only to them, set out to hurt us with their words. Words DO matter. I say they knowingly do it because even when told their words have hurt us, they deny it. "THEY" deny it. As though they even KNOW how we feel!
All my life there is a person who has never been happy with the way I look. I know because this person over-compliments me about my weight loss and when "she" thinks I am wearing something that looks good on me. But....let me eat something "SHE" judges I shouldn't, and I get either the silent treatment or an admonition about eating it.
This person has largely shaped the kind of person I am today....the good and the bad.
This same person is extremely self-centered, wanting what she wants, when she wants it. When I try to accommodate her, guess what? It's still not good enough. She wants something else.
How do we put those negative voices out of our heads when we can not avoid the person? The pain is neverending.
