There's an issue lately that I'd like to spread some awareness about. While we're all aware of the travesty of battering, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that abuse isn't only physical. Emotional and verbal abuse is equally abhorrent.

That's it? And you've posted these 42 words why? Is there a certain word count from the blog you posted from and you're not allowed to exceed 42 words or three sentences? Have you just recently learned that emotional and physical abuse is much worse than physical abuse?

Have you been abused? Are you married to an abuser? What's his/her type of abuse?

I believe Obama and his minions are abusing this country. It's like living with a narcissist (I have a friend who's married to one and it's NOT fun, in fact, the only way to really save yourself is get out fast, in the beginning), it doesn't matter what you do, they're not going to be happy, and you never know what's going to happen from day to day so you can't make any plans. And there's always some stupid crisis and you know you're being lied to EVERY SINGLE DAY and you walk on egg shells and no one understands what's so awful about him, he sure seems like a wonderful generous guy.

No, it's not.

While you may be able to defend yourself against physical abuse, it's much harder.

Emotional and verbal "abuse" is much easier to deal with:

1) Walk out
2) Divorce your feelings from the abuser - if you don't care it's a "Sticks and stones..." situation
3) Divorce the perp if you're married to him/her
4) Shun the perp if you're not
5) Quit the job if the perp is your boss.

Broken bones, knife wounds, gunshot wounds, etc., are not equivalent. In a case of emotional/verbal abuse you are making it possible.

Stop participating.
