I’m not exactly sure if you have to, but assuming you do, which is probably the case… People who are abusive should not be looked at with animosity, but rather with pity. They are so sick in the head and have such bad self esteem that the only way they can feel good about themselves is by tearing others down. Once we are aware of this reality we can start seeing these people as nebachs, and we become immune to their verbal abuse. It’s likely this person has severe emotional and relationship problems caused by a messed up upbringing or a traumatic early life event. We should feel sorry for them that they aren’t getting the proper psychological attention that they require for their sickness. Constantly remind yourself to view them like this and forgiveness will come naturally.
