ok so along long time ago i was the victim of bullys everyday of my school life, i was the nerdy different uncoordinated kid, there was one kid who used to physically do things to me, and cause me alot of pain and fear, when i sw him, He played football, and one day in Gym class, he put on his football helmet and tackled me, helmet right in the gut i flew across the gym and ended up embedded in a locker. anyhow, thats just one example and one of the worse physical. ones, that i endured, anyhow so the other day a few weeks ago i got into a conversation on facebook, with a girl i went to school with and we started talking about bullies, and how she was emotionall bulllied by the same guy that used to physically abuse me.
now heres were my story goes dark. i have outgrown my days of being bullyed, i turned it all around and used that to make myself a stronger person, and now i dont let anyone push me around, i stick up for the little guy and i dont let them get bullyed, my daughter has aspergers and because she is different, she gets bullyed, i am trying to work with her to make her stronger. but i cant do it anymore why??
go back to my facebook conversation, the next day i get a message f rom that girl, she said that she was facebook friends with that bully kid, anyhow next day she gets a sincere apologetic email from him apologizing for everything he did to her. granted i know sometimes emotional abuse leaves deeper scars that physical but i got nothing, and ever since then i lost my dont take shit attitude, i feel like i am back in high school or should i say how i felt back then,
Sorry this is so long, just ranting on and on. anyhow, has anyone ever experienced this where something made you revert back to how you were when you were being bullyed, its causing me a great amount of depression

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I have felt that way often, something triggers a change in my perspective and its not always for the better.
I hope you can find a place of comfort and strength again soon!
First of all I would like to offer you the chance to read my essay #1 in my journal, and your daughter is welcome to read it as well. I was bullied from Kindergarten all the way up into my early 20's. I now have 7 grandchildren that I would defend life and limb. And I don't allow anyone to treat me like they did when I was young. I was both physically abused and emotionally abused all through school and sexually abused to add a little more pain to an already beat up child. Your post is not too long at all and I can feel those scars as if they were mine. I have plenty to live with as well. But the physical scars go away, it's just a matter of learning how not to let the bullies win and leave us with emotional scars the rest of our lives.
I don't understand why this person did not have the decency or morality to offer apologies to you as well but I'm not even going to respond to why I think that is how it turned out. You say that you can no longer help your daughter because this guy didn't have the balls to apologize to you? Is that fair to your child? I don't believe it is. Please read my essay #1 and then we can talk again. I'm not just talking out of one side of my mouth.
