Betty,
Exactly…should someone I care about call me the names that
prisoners call me…I would feel different.
But I wouldn't feel different because of the words themselves, it
would be the anger or hurt … expressed by the use of those words, that
would concern me.
I would feel just as bad if they had said I had hurt them or caused
them to get angry…without using profanity.
"You know, you really are an ##$@%^$#!"
"You know, you really are a jerk!"
Both would effect me the same if from someone I cared about.
The implication, not the cussing would bother me.
I also realize that not everyone feels as I do.
Don
