Emotional abuse is often worse than physical abuse as the wounds are invisible. At least with bruises people physically know you've been abused but deep down inside is where the real damage is done and more often than not it's passed down multiple generations. If you're angry with someone the best thing you can do is show some basic self-control.

Well, he was like that until I was old enough to go to work and start earning my own money. Which that was at about 16 years old. When you start earning they start losing control over you. That was my therory. It also gets you out of the house and gives you a few hours peace and a chance to make some friends, and you have a reason to get out of the house. For my dad earning money was a good reason. I also turned to God. For some he's not real for me he's very real. You have a right to happiness.

@vancera78 Walk into a hospital that takes care of stabbed, burnt or beaten victims and tell them words are more painful than their pathetic physical wounds. I don't know what's uglier- your logic or the fact that a lot of people seem to agree with it.

Great example of EA , but why it always seems that the "male" is generally the "bad person" or the one at fault , some females can be very skilled EA vampires as well , if not worse !!! , wether its intentional or unintentional .

I don't think I will ever find an escape. Even being escaped, im not escaped. I moved out and the past just haunts and taunts me....healing I guess only comes for certain people...the worst is not having anyone to talk to...you try and try to cry out and no one cares to hear your cry for help. You kind of get to the point you stop reaching out for it and you just find yourself trying to do it alone........ I know how these kids feel.......

@210482fmj wow that is crazy.... keeping things bottled up brings on things such as heart attack, and other health problems, mental being at the top of the list. In counseling you learn how to deal with your anger, outrage, hurt, sadness, in a more positive way. It provides you coping skills, it is not just a big session about complaining and poor me, it is about taking control of your life and learning to live with hope, love and joy. Everyone on this planet deserves that...everyone.

[210482fmj]

don't be a pussy. you re only hope of making it through is try not to think about the bad stuff that has happened. the more you think about it the more it will wind up hurting you.  SOme research has showed that councelling actually makes people think more about bad stuff than forgetting it. youre only hope is to bury bad stuff form the past. anybody who says otherwise only wants to make you suffer more mentally.
