Hi Desiree,

I'm sooo sorry about what you had to go through. I have been verbally and emotionally abused as well and I hear your pain.

You said, "It's probably nothing compared to what some of you have gone through." I'd like to say in response that I don't think abuse can really be compared because to each person who has suffered, the pain is real and it matters.

(((((hugs)))))
