a friend of mine once said bruises and cuts heal in time but emotional scars last a life time and it can take a hell of a lot of therapy to make them smaller..... but they never really go away ?

Words do hurt. I used to say that back at other kids, right back at ya, but inside yep it hurt. I know my daughter gets hurt and very upset at things said. The other morning before school she was in tears, really sobbing, took me half and hour to coax her out the door to school, I felt guilty as hell, all because of some things another girl had said. Thankfully things seem ok now. Kxx

Diana - that's awful. I agree with you, I was hurt very deeply by words and actions (not nasty at all on the face of it but very insidious) - that was about 12 years ago and it still affects me.
