Warning: This episode uses examples from the lives of real people who\\u2019ve been bullied by their own parents. So please listen with caution. Here \\xa0are a couple of numbers, one for the sexual abuse textline in the US and one for the US National Suicide Hotline.

In this episode sponsored by BetterHelp, we\\u2019re going to talk about bullies that might be in your life today. Or from your past. What makes someone a bully? Is being a bully a diagnostic category? And as always, what can you do about it and how can you heal?

The listener email is from a young woman who sounds to me as if she has, sadly, gone from the frying pan into the fire, and chosen a familiar pain \\u2013 one that she felt in the biological famly, and now playing that out with the family she married into.
