Emotional n psychological abuse can be worse than physical or sexual abuse simply bc there is no actual bruise or wound to see - so it's hard to fathom especially bc others seem to help cement it into your head "it's not that bad - it's only words - if it really bothers you just leave, after all there is no physical harm going on" etc - been there, done that, have the t-shirt ... I can get you some information on it if you like
