BDSM = Abuse, Again...

The problem with the statement "You are your worse enemy" when talking about a disability is because this is often true, the person making this statement has probably undergone an injustice. The person with the disability is often seen as the person who started it all. For example, having depression often means thoughts bombard the People with disabilities that generally dont cause you too feel comfortable. So people with depression have unusual (even illogical) boundaries that when crossed will result in anger, I have even known people who resort to screaming and yelling when they feel bad. So yes, they are seen as the reason and cause for the abuse they now face.

Yet when we deal with Battered wives we don't resort to blaming the victim for the abuse. Yet when you have a disability, this blaming of the person who is sick is rarely seen as inappropriate. Hell I have a friend that has her Doctorate in Psychology. When she started volunteering with her husband at this place, she encountered a woman that had financial issues paying for her anti-depressents. Therefor at the end of the month you could count on her not being able to afford her medicine. She would then react to situations inappropriate with anger and frustration. In this situation she yelled at this doctor. The doctor decided to declare war on this lady, going so far to pay thousands of dollars in Donations to try and get the authority to recommend she be removed from her volunteer position. She (and her husband) did just about everything they could to undermined this woman, none of which was met with any form of resistance, because "She was her worse Enemy."

Bully's will claim that it was the person who they bullied who DESERVES the abuse and ridicule they now give to them. for there actions for a verity of reasons. But it always comes down to the same thing. They are different, they respond differently, they have different boundaries and they are different. This is why Bully's target the week. They can get away with it by making these same arguments with very little resistance.
