I'm with LH. Most people have been emotionally abusive, sexist, racist, to some degree especially looking to the past. We're humanely imperfect and if we strive to better ourselves we weren't as good 5-10yrs ago. Learn what you can from any examples provided. Know your value as a human and partner isn't entirely defined by those, but your value as a human and partner in the future could be enhanced by reducing any negative behaviors. Maybe she's crazy, but the last person who vented 3 wrong with me, I learned from 2 of them even as I disagreed with her assessment. (:
