If You Could Talk To Past Tormentors, What Would You Say To Them?

[Tippi]

Tippi,
And just for the record: I think weasels can be very cute animals:)

LOL!!.........Thankfully, I later learned some makeup tricks and how to do my hair and I grew out of my weasel stage!!!......I bet they're considered really cute to other weasels..........;)

From a note on a wall in a nursing home,
Be nice to your kids, they pick your nursing home.

I have gone back and re-read my post, and some of the others that have been written, and the one thing I have not said that needs to be said to my abusers is, I forgive you.
I realize that I cannot change how they treated me, nor can I change how it has affected me. Likewise they cannot change how they treated me, and they cannot undo how it has affected me. They may not even remember me, or treating me in such a manner, but I can change how I view the past.

I realize that holding on to the anger, the hurt and shame they caused me does not help me, nor does it punnish them. In all probability holding onto it may very well be what is holdingme back from truely gaining my healing, so I choose to release my anger and tell them I forgive you.

I am still working on this toward my former employer. This was too recent, and is still causing way too much pain and hardship, but I need to start working on forgiving them as well.

I've been thinking of this lately... I wouldn't talk to them. I would talk to all those people less than I did.

They weren't worth the energy; there were better people on scene I could have talked to, and I haven't. For them I hold regrets.

WHY? WHY? WHY?

@RussH Honestly, a person's religiousity is their own belief, and as long as, they do...

So sorry, Therisa.

In my nightmares I say and even yell many things at them.

But awake, I don't think I would have much to say to them at all. I find this answer surprising.

In most of my nightmares, they appear a bit differently from real life. I've actually kicked my husband in my sleep defending myself from one. Blah. Poor guy.

What I would say to them? Two things: "Kiss my ass" and then "Here comes the hurt!"

 

[Neverthesame]

I remember exactly what I said to one of mine, the day I learned to fight back.

"Start running."

He wasn't fast enough.

Nowadays, I don't know what I would say to any of them. Probably nothing polite. Probably nothing at all. I don't think their worth wasting my breath on.

They were stupid kids, now likely stupid adults.

I don't know if I know any words small enough.
