What's the saddest thing to hear, It's Okay, I'm used to it as a response to?

Had a friend who was really lonely and his old friends were awful to him.

Like there was this one girl who would just hit him and stuff and emotionally abuse him really bad, but he didn't have any other friends, so he just stuck with it.

Accidentally hit him lately or something when he said,

It's okay, I'm used to it.

And I felt so bad for the poor guy.

He's fine now, though.

My son, talking about how his mother, my ex-wife, talks to him.

During our marriage, she would take everything out on me, whether it was my fault or not.

Too busy at work, shout at me.

Her family's coming to visit. Shout at me. Now we're apart and she does the same thing to him.

He moves between both houses by his own choice. Last week, she told him, you might as well leave.

As you would imagine, he was very upset. When he got to my place, he was making excuses for her and actually said,

It's okay. I'm used to it. I've never spoken badly about his mother to any of my children until now.

I've been talking to him since then that she used to do this to me and that it's actually not okay.

He spent a lot of time considering what I've been saying. He's 20 and is said that he's

going to have a discussion with her about it. I hope she acts like as much of an adult as he is,

but I don't like the chances of that. The one time a girl ever asked me out in my life, back in high

school. I told her, sorry, I just met a girl I really like, and we're starting to get serious, so I can't right now.

And her answer to that was,

It's okay, I'm used to it.

No one ever picks me first.
