Yoda,wow. That was an amazing circle showing the different types of abuse. Yes, I fit into many of those pieces of the circle. Wow. The mind games, trying to make me feel guilty...btw, I still feel guilty almost all the time, the money, the control, the isolation, gestures of threatening violence. Thank you so much. Yoda, I am sorry to hear that you too have been through abuse. You sound like a very strong person now...even to the point to reaching out to help others. Thank you. Lauren
