Twist your story: I see it clearly. I have much painful experience is this type of behavior. I know well the type of person that feeds on the reaction they have caused. Every ounce of me wants to fully express my thoughts, but there is no reason or logic with this mind set. I see it as a passive aggressive attack. Covert abuse. I hope that this is taken in as fuel to empower you to share even more fiercely. I do though have much sadness, regret and empathy for how toxicity directed toward you affects you. It is always the case that strong, successful women are their favorite to go after. (as you already know)

I know my support is not necessary. But I was pulling back so hard on my own reins. I resonate with your experience and can not tolerate that behavior toward you. Surviving an experience like my children and I have been crawling out from, fortifies my perspective and resolve.

Yes, curious about the profile.

Reading comprehension: It would not be difficult to believe that he is only here for trolling and flame throwing. At first I thought it was a she. Because I had a woman that experienced abuse devalue me for "staying".

I am so certain that you must see way too much toxicity in your work writing and otherwise. For that I am deeply sorry. Toxic people are toxic because they can be. I have learned through pain that it is them. They do hate the qualities they see in me. Obviously you too!
