Ugly words - react or not?

I’m so sorry your father is so verbally abusive. I would walk away and ignore those ugly words.

Easier said than done but ignore.

Thankfully I live alone with my granddaughter and although we argue sometimes we don't use ugly words. I remember my parents fighting when I was young and I hated it. I used to stay in my room or go out.

First of all, I don't let ugly words bother me. Secondly, I use humor to either diffuse the situation, or to help me keep calm.

@Nevena83 I know.But such things never happen in my family.Still if ever someone among my friends unnecessarily shouts at me,I too would not tolerate it.In family I can't even imagine my parents shouting at me or anybody else.

"I shout back!" This would everyone's tendency when being shouted of bad words. . If you're well mannered and raised by a good parents, you won't retaliate by throwing another bad words.

I live alone and so don't have that situation.

I focus on the positive and the blessings around me instead. The enemy has no place unless we give it to him.

I go in another room, close the door and refuse to listen.

Put earmuffs on. Your parents won't know that they don't shut out all noise and will think that you really can't hear them shouting.

Ugly words hurt us much . They are like a very sharp knife that continue to stab our innermost part. These could affect our emotion and day to day activities. The words we hear seem always flashing in our mind and seem sucking at our ears. If hear ugly words, as I resolved, is to leave the place and look at the surroundings and plug in melodious music to our ears. Your father might have a very ugly experience with his parents when he was young and his anger is thrown back to his own family which is wrong. You need to have a face-to-face talk in a calm way to resolve the conflict in a refined way.

sorry to hear that you hear ugly words from your father as we not like to hear it so we can tell them but if still continue then just ignore them by not react them. Your father telling ugly word to you or just say in common talk?

You should have given your father a time-out...

Usually, I turn and walk away. If they are having that much issue with whatever is going on with them, better to step away. If it is a loved one, or a close friend, I will often attempt to learn what the issue is and ask if there is anything I can do to help them. But there is so much good stuff in life that no one should not have to deal with other people's anger.

I would find somewhere else to hang out.

I would ignored him and went somewhere.

@Nevena83 I may feel hurt or angry. It depends on who said them and why.

Not sure what you mean by ugly words, like someone calling you names or just swear words in general. I swear all the time so if someone else swears it doesn't bother me at all but someone but if you mean calling me names or swearing at me, that is a different story.

Depends how often I will see that person again.

Last week somebody referred to what we are doing as stupidity. It's hurting, but some people have really this habit of getting on with ugly words.
