Workplaces where you're supposed to just shut up and put up with whatever is expected of you are rife breeding grounds of abuse - all sorts of it ... I can't believe that so many on this forum are ok with it or just accept it considering we're all suffering with PTSD and we *ALL* have problems...

I am either petrified by fear or angry. It's endless. When I'm not scared, I'm angry, when I'm not angry, I'm scared or anxious. I hate it. It's exhausting and it hurts others.

My mom raged ... from time to time, when things got a bit too much. She was a single mother in a post-communistic hellhole in a middle of extremely chauvinistic society where at the end of the month she had to send me to my grandparents so I could get something to eat. I'm glad she hasn't done...

Yeah, it is disturbing how that can work. I can see why many positions of power are filled with narcissists and psychopaths ... it takes one to be this horrible to another person, really. I'm going to talk to my supervisor tomorrow (a step down from my boss) and I'll decide on my plan of...
