Complex PTSD

[diannshowers]

Because schools and workplaces dont punish the bully or will NOT even address it. Bullying has damaged me for a lifetime and it happened in my workplace by the same type of people. The trauma of bullying just dont go away. I ended up NOT going to colleage due to bullying. I hate having to enter ANY school

Bullies often cast themselves in the role of the victim and accuse their targets of bullying.
I was bullied by my parents, older sister, and even in foster care, school and university. Not to mention the workplace, and so-called friends.
It's only now, towards the end of my life, that I realise how my family of origin has set me up to be bullied by almost everyone. It's as though subconsciously I am wearing a sign that says kick me.
I hate them all, all the people who did this to me. My older sister was the worst.

Back in the 1970s, I attended a Catholic school and I suffered from bullying every day. I liked school I just hated dealing with the bullies. One day in the eighth grade, one of the bullies got me in big trouble by spilling milk in one of my books when I got up to go to the restroom. Despite my explaining to the nun that I didn't do this, she just yelled at me more! I was really furious and determined to deal with the bullies myself. PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT condoning the following! I found out who did it and challenged them to a fight after school. I felt if no one was going to help me I'd have to figure it out for myself. I threw one punch and knocked the other kid out. I was horrified at my action but the screaming mob of kids that surrounded us, stopped screaming. Forever after, I was never bullied again. I was nearly kicked out of school but my Mom told the head nun that it was their fault. We had reported the bullying but no one put a stop to it. I've hated that I did that. The only positive is that I had peace finally through high school. I've never gone back...never attended reunions or anything like that.

This whole bullying thing gets me so violently angry. The victims get all the blame and the God damned bullies go scot free.

An apoligy would not do anything for me. It just went on far too long
