Verbal smack down

"All marriages are sacred, but not all are safe."
- Rob Jackson

Why is it that people have such an easy time saying such hurtful things to others?

I have the misfortune of living next to such a creature. After moving in on New Years Eve, it was long before the fighting started weekly and sometimes nightly. 

More than willing to spread his hate, loud enough for others to hear, this gent has no problem smashing at the door, throwing things and saying lovely gems like "You fat f'in cunt", "You f'in whore" and todays new edition, "You ate a hole jar of cookies yesterday! Get a f'in clue!"

I have seen this woman with my own eyes. While she does not look as though she could grace the cover of beauty and fitness magazines, by no means should she be getting thing hateful things thrown at her constantly. He definitely is married or dating up, while she is dating down.




The saddest part of this is that there is a little girl that lives there. Unsure as to her exact age but often we hear her crying thru the wall once all of this starts. Even cries at the door. Not sure if this is to get out, hoping for help or to just move in the opposite direction in hopes to not be noticed. 

The authorities have been called before, the landlord has been here and yes, he was been arrested a few weeks ago. But alas the ass is still venturing home and is allowed back into the safety of the 2 bedroom abuse station. Perhaps it is not physical but it sure is verbal. 

I don't understand why someone would allow another individual to say such horrible things to them, but it seems more often than not these days. Just hearing his hateful slurs thru the walls make me wonder if I am perhaps also a "Fat f'in cunt" or "whore" and that maybe I was the one that ate the whole jar of cookies yesterday. The only difference is that in my head, once the words are past his lips his nose would be a tad more crooked and he'd be out on his ass.

People do the strangest things and we all hope to be loved. Sometimes we ignore the bad things that happen so that we can for a few moments have someone else to help us through the world. If it can be this hard at home...those that have no connection to us...could be worse. Stability at any cost. We like to think the best of people. But in truth, its not because they have having a bad day, a bad week or a bad month. This started long ago before you were even on the scene. This isn't your fault or your job to try to fix them. Save yourself before you and your child are in need of fixing.

Some people wear their extra masks better than others.
You are beautiful.
You are smart.
You are wonderful.
You deserve more.
