In my experience, bullies are quite fragile and easy to break. All bark.

The only time I ever shut up my bitch of a mother bout politics was shortly after Obama won and she was complaining about something stupid.
"What happened to, 'It's un-American to complain about the Commander-in-Chief?' "
"You complained about Bush all the time!"
"Because I believe it's my civic responsibility to hold my leaders accountable. But you said over and over that was wrong. Did you change your mind, or is it only un-American to criticize the president you like?"
She was (probably still is) a malignant narcissist, so I paid for that, but the satisfaction of seeing her grasp for straws was worth it.
My condolences for your pain, and my respect for your courage
It was 20 years ago so- to whoever needs to hear this- the road to healing is a long one, and sometimes it feels like you're not moving at all, but time will take you where you want to be. Just keep at it, work on your behaviors, learn how to clean up your thoughts, and you'll get there.
