It sucks. I am one to defy abusive people Even if it got me in trouble. I had a limit bully went past it they'd get hurt.But because I was different I didn't lead or follow,I was a target.

As for early childhood I had no example to know what was abusive or not to compare.So I got hurt and realized why, after that I tolerated it no more as much as I could.Sometimes I trigger become locked into the past and be passive.But I am aware of that now.I was only half aware half the time during the years of bullying.Much of my past is unknown to me.
