And it's a good opinion, Rockit08.
It's power, coercive control, domination, needing to be right at other's expense, needing to put others down so one can feel elevated, unresolved anger that comes out as passive aggressive verbal abuse, entitlement, low self-esteem, emotional emptiness and false selves.
That about covers it. More or less.
Only just realising exactly how much my mother is passive aggressive verbal abuser. She's shocking!!!!
