    @Tori_Scope thank you. I'm used to it Tori. It happens all the time, I just happened to report it this time. But they will not break or beat me. Bless you and have a good weekend. Kieren.

    commiserations @nandbkieren, my son also gets abused from time to time but actually many more people are helpful and kind to him when he’s out and about. 

    I think sometimes people say hurtful things like that to just show off, sometimes it’s aggression towards someone they see as weak in some way and won’t fight back. Not that I’m advocating fighting back,  that could be extremely dangerous.
