Hi everybody, I hope you are all well.
Lately I feel I am getting it from all over, apart the people close to me. A couple of instances. I get verbal abuse on a daily basis more than once a day where I live. I feel belittled by some of my colleagues where I volunteer. My ex husband uses any oppurtunity to make me feel bad about myself, his favourite expression is I look like a tramp (as in the homeless variety, not sure why, I am clean, tidy and wear clean wellnfitted clothes, I am not well groomed though) My exs parents who I see weekly for the kids sake, my mil critisises every single thing I do, literally pulls her face. She really is the cliche. I had a group interview this week and some comments I overheard where ridiculous. I have been picked on and called names because I have said no to people. There are plenty of other occasions.
Anyway I would say half the time I ignore it, but it still goes in. Sometimes it is particularly hurtful. Then sometimes it builds up inside because it is regular especially the things said about how I look, this then wears me down and I feel so bad about myself.
This week feels like that. How does everybody else handle critism, belittling behaviour, judgement based how you look, being picked on, and abuse mostly verbal?
Cheers for reading
