My NM isn't really into the obvious, overt insults. She cleverly veils hers in snide comments or tears into my self esteem. She's never told me "I hate you", which is a surprise, but she doesn't see any worth in anything I've done, will do or am.
For instance, I have celiac disease. In addition to telling me that I must of gotten that from "those people" referring to my bio father's side of the family, she will dismiss it as something totally made up. "Oh, that's right.......I forgot about your disease."
She also tosses the word hypochondriac around like it was yesterday's dirty rag. I admit, I'm not a healthy person. 30 years of stress and anxiety have their way of totally taking over your body and destroying it. But, everything I have, or have had, she dismisses. I had CANCER in 2009. She was here for my surgery, in the room with me when they told me exactly what I had, and to this day denies I ever had it. It's those things that hurt more than the words, I think.
She likes to tear into self image also. "You don't have a pretty body like me, you're built more like a man."
