I

can handle adversity.

I can handle not knowing 

What I can't handle is adversity, 

along with not knowing when, 

with a side dose 

of lying and deceit for years from everyone around me.

Pretty freakin tall order if you ask me.

Fuckin with somebody's mental health just aint cool.

Under any circumstances.

Period

It's not just me saying it.

"when combined with other psychological and physical methods, the result can lead to long-lasting psychological disorders and even progress into illnesses such as depression or avoidant personality disorder"

"the victim's ability to resist the manipulation depends on 

her ability to trust her own judgments"."

Or ones faith.

Or both.

Thank goodness.
