Yes, for other types of abuse it's surely more difficult, because you can't think that they 'didn't want to hurt you', like in my case. I'm neither sure that mine is emotional abuse, though I think that it is. However, I didn't manage to forgive her yet, because she does it also now and she still makes me suffer sometimes...I'd like to do it, because I'd be happier, but I don't know if I'll be able till she's still alive, that is a pity. But I'll do what I can. If somebody is able to do it I really admire him.
