I used to envy the way you could
spit acid when you spoke with malicious intent
until I understood that it always ended up

    There is no doubt in my mind now why you were recommended to me. A level of relation such as that from the abused to the abuser is unheard of. I would have no sympathy for them. Perhaps gratification though.

    You are simply amazing, the way you manage to speak so much in so few words. This is so true and perfectly titled. Love it.
