I once had this stepmom that was cruel. She would be nice/mean/indifferent/cruel all within five minutes. She pretty much lived to see my misery...ugggh...she was abusive and nasty. Then I met someone who did the same thing! I thought it was just in my head, or maybe I was doing something wrong, but then I realized that there was no winning with him. NOTHING would suffice. I don't want to find out if he'll turn out to be that bad. For her, it went from emotional to physical abuse...if someone constantly tortures you, eventually a punch will follow. Some people really have no empathy for others. Nada. *shudder*
It really makes me doubt humanity sometimes.
