Yep it was sometimes a harrowing childhood beaten almost everyday for years and going to church hours every week. My parents put on such a display of kindness to everyone except me. I never knew why and its haunted me all my life. I seen on the news today a athlete who won 6 gold medals in dressage but she whipped her horses into submission. I found it incredibly disturbing and it brought my own abuse to mind.
Why do people men and women mistreat children, animals and each other?
Im just getting this off my chest i feel so upset rn
In my experience it all boils down to control and power. Most people don’t have much so if they find someone they can make feel bad they feel a sense of control. It’s like a drug. Maybe my experience is colored by having shitty neighbors who intimidate and will do anything to feel in control or maybe it’s because I work in an army reserve building and these people are fanatical about space i.e
they have to take every last inch and then they feel they’re in control.
