I too was attacked and savagely beaten by a language designer in my youth. 
I kept it inside for many years and didn't even realize it until it was 
brought out in hypnotherapy 7 years ago.  Sadly by that time the language 
designer was deceased and I could not confront her.  Not that it would have 
mattered much anyway, she being an Admiral and protected by the military 
industrial complex.  You are far luckier being able to confront the abusive 
LD amost directly through the internet.  I just wanted to let you know that 
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  Thank you for bravely standing up and sharing.  Maybe 
others like us who have been abused by LD's can finally come out of hiding 
and get the recognition and support we need. As for how I conquered my 
codependent behavior and COBOL addiction... NO I didn't just replace it with 
Ruby...don't be ridiculous.  I found Jesus.  Well Jesus and Ruby.  That may 
not work for you.  But good luck. I'm pulling for you.
