Have you ever been bullied? I remember a guy named Skip in Junior High. He used to pick on all sorts of people, including myself. One time he was picking on a friend and I crushed him with my incredible charm and wit (keep in ming this was Junior High). He got in face and was waving his arms and I kind of lost it. I stood up quickly and I shoved him backwards into some desks and then sat back down. He flipped out even more.
Skip was a jerk, I hope he grew out of it, but sadly psychological abusers usually don’t grow out of it.
Check out Shannon Thomas’ book, “Healing from Hidden Abuse: A Journey Through the Stages of Recovery from Psychological Abuse.”

I am so sorry you have been through that. I have been bullied too and it’s terrible.
Agreed. Fortunately, I didn’t experience too much bullying past junior high.
The latest incident was particularly distressing because 1) it was in what should have been a safe place, 2) the bully was supported, 3) it was an attack my career, motives, and reputation, and 4) as far as I know, those in leadership did nothing about the bully.
