Todays Note

I've been down with a really nasty flu bug. If you feel the start of a virus trying to get you down, take good care of yourself. There are some bad germs out there.


This info came from the book "The Verbally Abusive Relationship".




Characteristics of a Verbally Abusive Mate may be -

- irritable
- likely to blame you for their outburst or actions
- unpredictable (you never know what may anger them)
- angry
- unable to accept your feelings or views
- unable to express warmth or empathy
- controlling
- silent or uncommunicative
- demanding or argumentative
- seem like a nice person to others
- competitive toward you
- sullen
- jealous
- quick with come-backs or put-downs
- critical
- manipulative
- explosive
- hostile
- unable to express their feelings

this should be a warning list for people who wonder if they are in a bad relationship.
