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.

That was an excerpt from the post itself. I wrote the post listing signs of emotional/verbal abuse because last night, after 20 years, I’ve realized that yes, I am married to an abuser. And you’re right: it’s not fun. I just want to let others like me know that there is hope and help. If one more woman (or man) escapes the emotional and psychological battering of someone who claims to love them, then my work on this earth is done and I’ll die in peace.
