emotional/verbal abuse is not
just abuse. it is abuse. Sometimes emotional/verbal abuse can be more traumatic than physical abuse.
it's so easy to minimize what we go through because we think that what others have gone through is not "as bad" as others have endured.
I want to assure you that any abuse is too much. And any amount of abuse can cause trauma. And what you experienced matters...and how it affected you matters.
