[quote=Anonymous]As a victim of abuse, both physical, mental, and emotional, I can say that asking someone, who doesn't understand it, to detail the information around it is traumatic. You definitely don't want to feel like you have to prove and convince for support or validation of such a frightening experience. Asking someone who is being abused, or is working through the trauma of abuse, is like watching them fearfully decide which stitches to pick out from their still seeming wound, while the (usually innocent) person wanting to "help" is standing by impatiently with school scissors and Elmer's glue. Not worth it. This might also contribute to so many misperceptions around characteristics of viewing abuse from the outside looking in.[/quote]
