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!
