[QUOTE="witzend, post: 655861, member: 99"] For me the bullying at school was particularly difficult because my mother wouldn't do anything to back me up. These where the children of people that she socialized with. When she asked "Who picks on you" and I answered "everyone" it was true, and her reactions was "If you can't be specific I'll let let it go." And she did. That was the beginning of my descent into trouble. There were a few who were particularly awful - two in particular I will never forget - and I will never forgive them. I told my mom that she had done the same with my siblings picking on me as an adult (backed up with emails for her to read as proof) as she had with my classmates as a kid and she told me, "Well you would never tell me what they did so I couldn't do anything. You are the one who's always picked upon, so maybe it's you." Yeah, thanks but no thanks for your support, mom. [/QUOTE]
