Humor is one way to counteract the negative behavior received from a victimizer who is oftentimes unable to change. You don't want them to know you are laughing about them, however. That will cause them to seek other means to upset you. Remember: they may actually be suffering just as much - if not more - as the "abusee." Also, although the language in the story is very rough, it is the way a lot of people may talk when they are under high, constant, and unavoidable stress. This form of release is done by many regardless of culture, creed, "class" or situation. However, some people just like to cuss Some explanations, descriptions, and suggestions on how to extricate from your life or avoid persons with the disorders discussed by the characters, are provided at the end of the story.
