When working with, even being intimate with, the truly traumatized, and if an inappropriate characterization manifests itself, as happens often and unbeknownst to them even as they deliver their cuts, particularly after an attempt at a boundary or a request for mutual respect becoming re-established; your immediate sensibility and indeed feeling, if sober of mind and foresight, will be mourning, as their tongue, actions, or both, have become scimitars, where even coming with beautiful curves are, fundamentally, swords with intent to harm: You have been dehumanized — have the wherewithal to leave, with dignity intact for both parties.
To have been acted upon badly in a life does not excuse acting badly in a life.
