We all need healing whether it be us or the others' who are affected by their past and taking it out on others. This is a good thing to remember, Judith.

That doesn't justify their abuse at all. It just means they have wounds they need to heal. On the other side, the people who are abused are also wounded . . . and have their own wounds to heal. This does not mean they should allow themselves to be abused. It just means they have wounds they need to heal, also. Please look for my next article, coming soon. The Story of Sharon, John's assistant. That will help make it clear that we all have wounds we need to heal . . . all of us. Perhaps that will help us have compassion both for ourselves and others. . . Thanks for your interest and courage to share. Blessings, Judith Barr Yes, people who abuse their power are wounded.

These people have serious problems and it is often after they have belittled and angered others that they finally recognize that they are behaving badly but many of them do not even care about that. All they care about is getting off on how that angry feeling and feeling of power over others makes them feel. I have very little sympathy for people who act like this.

Good example here of John and how his explosive behavior actually resulted from experiences from when he was younger. It’s amazing to see how today’s emotions evolve from the past.

These people are infuriating to work with and for as they offer you no flexibility at all.
