[quote=Anonymous]Emotional abuse is real and it is serious. I would say, from experience, that it is often worse than other forms of abuse. Physical wounds heal, but you never really forget the things that are said to you. Hurtful words can cause lingering pain, self-doubt, and fear. I know that things that have been said to me are replayed over and over in my mind, making me feel small or insignificant. I am a Christian, though, and knowing that I am significant in God's eyes has given me healing and hope. One thing that really has helped me is writing. I try to get by myself for a bit and I write down everything...the bad memories and the new thoughts. As I write it down, I'm able to process it better and move forward. I can't change what happened, but I know that I don't want it to continue to have power over me. That was the past. I want a different future.[/quote]
