I too am not fond of using the word abuse. I have difficulty saying it, and only started
late last year. I think one thing I do really need to overcome is this deep feeling that I
have no right to talk about it as there was nothing physical about it - no scars left, no
bruises - it's all psychological. I'm sure that it's what has caused me to go on to have
Bipolar and BPD. Sorry if that offends anyone. Thank you all for your help.
