Hurtful words normally come from strangers, or bullies, but should never come from your Mom. I remember being called ugly, stupid, and even telling me how I would die a an early age. But, she bought me clothes, and fed me, and changed my dirty diapers and made sure I looked nice and stuff, so that cancels it all out, right? It's hard to accept that because of the damage done at an early age. Damage that follows you to you adult years. Damage that's a factor in nearly all of your failed relationships. In this episode, I shift from physical abuse to verbal abuse, and the impact her words still have on me at age 30. To: Mom, Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can break my heart, my spirit, and my self-esteem. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tomompodcast/message
