I don't think anybody here or anywhere else, at least the half decent people, would ever consider the abuse you are experiencing a laughing matter.

I know that fear that you are speaking of, maybe the fear this person may see this posts. I understand what you mean. There's absolutely no pressure to discuss this issue but if you feel you need to say it you came to the right place, you are as equal as all of us....we're all kind of loony if you think about it.

You must know that this abusive behavior is unacceptable, or you wouldn't be ashamed or fearful to discuss it. That's the step we all need to take in order to begin the path to maybe a resolution. Whatever it may be.

I really hope you will soon be able to discuss this, we may have something useful to say to help you situation. You'll never know unless you try.
