“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”–That’s a Lie!

You’re worthless, dumb, ugly, fat, stupid, *%#$%*+!#, lazy, damaged goods, pathetic, disgusting, crazy, uneducated, broke, broken, hideous… Nobody else is going to want you. The harmful and hateful slurs continue on and on throughout a verbal and emotionally abusive relationship.   When have these words been spoken to you and about you? The old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” is an absolute lie from the pit of hell. Words do hurt and can last a lifetime. How many of you are still hiding behind a mask because of what someone said to you as a child, pre-teen, teenager, young adult, adult, etc.? You understand where I’m coming from, don’t you? Words can have a lasting effect and damage a person’s self-esteem.
