I don't understand why you didn't say anything. I would have done.
I cried like a baby when my marriage failed for quite a few weeks.
I did. I saw the whole thing from a third floor window in the school. Needless to say the bullies didn't get away with it and were suspended.
Not sure why it had an impact so much on me but I was thinking about it on my drive home from work that day and started to cry.
It was just the way the victim kind of accepted it, like a rite of passage, slowly swept up the broken pieces in his hands, popped them in his pocket and and skulked away with a look of utter pain in his eyes and the weight of the worl on his shoulders.
When the headmaster and I confronted the bullies they were kind of smirking and showed no guilt at all. I have never wanted to hit someone so much in all my life.
That's quite a sad story really and I can fully understand why you felt like lashing out at the little shits.

This is a very topical thread for me as about 45 mins ago I sobbed like a baby. I have just returned from the Marsden and been told that my 2 year scan was clear. 2 years of fear, anxiety, pain and anguish came out in those tears. The war is far from over but I've won another battle.
Any man who thinks men shouldn't cry is full of macho bullshit and knows f*** all about my life in my opinion.
I am now wondering what my first alcoholic drink in 2 years will be...
