Day 8 - Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like sh*t
I grew up with a bully. I was teased, thrown, tossed, dunked, pushed, pinched, tricked, threatened, bruised, abused, forced to do drugs and ridiculed by a bully.
What a bully does is steal. A bully steals your innocense, your comfort, your sleep. A bully brings fear into your life, while simultaneously bringing doubt into the minds of the adults you trust. (As it was in my case.) Bullies rarely leave a trail. The damage is
internal, mental, psychological. That damage is long-lasting.
I removed my bully from my life years ago, although on occasion I must still deal with him. And that's because he still bullies, and some of those he bullies are people I love. And protect.

Oh Alison, I'm so sorry! I had no idea.
Was this an easy truth? It would be for me, it was my sister, the first and biggest bully in my life. You don't forget, do you?
