Today the boasting of an adult woman
bully was emailed upon request of a couple of agencies who could not
believe our story. An older gentleman came into work today with a
"patch" and I showed him a post which he thought interesting. He asked
for a copy and said he will check it out for us. Oh, yes, and there is
more!
What
is the difference between a child bully and an adult bully? Everyone
knows the bully during grade school. Just recently, I had a gentleman
"facebook" me to apologize for treating me horribly in high school. I
guess I had not noticed and I did not remember such behavior. We have
had two wonderful conversations and will be meeting his family in April
when we visit Eastern Washington. Most conversations revolve around the
victim but what if the adult bully is the victim. While we encourage
and empathize with the victim, we often try and ignore the bully! Of course, we do!
Adult bullies show traits of anger, aggression, hyperactivity and
violence. This is according to Education.com, a privately funded
research site. According to their research, as bullies age, the more
likely they are to engage in antisocial behavior. Adults who are bullies
are 10 times likely to lie, six times more likely to fight, and three
times more likely to engage in harassing behavior. This was made clear
to us by a "family member" who receives consistent "middle finger"
gestures and profanity from our adult bully and her husband. What an
example this must give to young children that may be in close proximity
to witness such attitude.
Adult
bullies are 11 times more likely to engage in conduct disorders,
personality disorders, and anti-social personalities. We have given
evidence to the court and witnessed such behaviors from our adult bully.
I think the hardest part of the study to read was that adult bullies
are victims as well and need help just like children bullies do. They
are difficult to deal with so they are rejected. We have heard this time
and time again in regards to our adult bully. Some experience some type
of abuse at home and bullying others is a coping mechanism. An adult
bully can be hard to counsel as, in the case of our bully, they think
that there is nothing wrong with them and they are completely in the
right. The rants can be crazy and hard to read but the meanings are
clear and we document all with dates. We know that we will be using the
information soon. At this point in my life, even though it has been
suggested, I cannot feel sorry for the woman that continually bullies
us. She claims to be Christian, a minister, a mother, a grandmother, and
yet we receive harassment that is beyond the normal.
