[quote=Anonymous]  My mom never really learned how to regulate her anger so when she's feeling angry her favorite things include: posting an over the top negative review of a doctor who didn't cater to her, sending an angry email to a neighbor, dropping an anger bomb on me via text that often involves name-calling, texting a relative who's husband is dying to say something sarcastic and biting. She's on meds and everyone has set boundaries with her. She seems to get a kick or even buzz out of seeing if the person responds or not. She has a few friends who still tolerate her and they have mean streaks too. As far as I know she doesn't cyberbully them. She still is capable of managing finances so if you take away all tech, she'll buy new stuff.

It seems to ring her a sinister joy more so than getting together with actual friends. She had a bully streak raising us and seemed to argue with dad a lot so i think she gets a dopamine hit from cyberbulling. When you share your disgust with her for bullying others she seems to enjoy the attention and will tell you off. It's so sad. I hope I never become like that. [/quote]
