violence can be verbal emotional and physical.
the in between stages can be VERY long.
once you forget or stop toeing the line...
...look out!
and
a 'smart' person....leaves NO marks dam n it.

between violence...days, weeks, months, yeasrs,
there is the never ending control over your mind, emotions and soul.

i Hate abuse.
i hate being the toad boiled in the water
who almost exploded and didnt even
know what was happening.

glad i jumped out of the water.
now this toad just needs to find the
missing lily pad. for crying out loud!
