ADULT RESPONSIBILITY or ADULT BULLY

An Adult Bully

tries to avoid responsibility

for their own bad  behavior

by blaming the target

for causing it ..

The most important thing to remember about dealing with cyberbullying is to never, ever respond to the bully.  I know that it is difficult to do.  I made the mistake of asking, begging, and pleading with my bully to stop the harassment, and it has led to a site(s) dedicated to defaming and harassing me, complete with my full name, my husband's full name, my children's name, taunting about the death of my son, my family's information, and information that is not even close to being true.  Remember that bullies are often lacking something crucial in their lives and they seek pain in others, so do not fill this void for them by giving them a reaction.  Your reaction is exactly what they are seeking.  Instead, document everything, and seek the proper authorities (up to and including your local FBI bureau).  Trust me, I know it is very, very difficult not to react when you see yourself and the people you love being attacked.

The bully will often tell their prey things such as "you deserve this" and "you need help" in order to convince you that you are in fact the bad person.  Just remember who it is you are dealing with and report everything to the proper authorities so the real "bad person" can be dealt with legally.  This has taken many years to figure out for us.  Let those who have the expertise in this horrid situation take care of what needs to be taken care of.
