I know abuse does not go away on its own. But I've known others who were sreverly abused and guess I what with low stress do well with therapy and meds. I myself is unable to go to my freshman year of high school. Due to moderate to severe psychosis. My parents constantly are monitoring me. The hospital would be much better than that, I'm always paranoid. And guess what it doesn't go away either. No med led fed ked jed has helped neither has therapy. So I do lo fo co know what's it's like to be mentally incapacitated. I'm failing all my classes since I do not have the congtive skills anymore. I still want to do something hat my voices tell me to do and my mind lind kind sind being disorganized. I hate to word it like this but my voices abuse me in a way. They call me names and harm me physically. It makes me hate myself and want to die.
The world is scary and many other things. Sometimes I'm better organized and have more insight than other times. Sorry that I've offended you. But you must realize permanently locking someone up is not going to do anything. Neither are police. The psychological effects might look like some other mental illness and someone whose been abused might be called delusional or faking it for attention. Unfortunately it's horrid orrid corrid truth. But first bring awareness and the symptoms and effects of the abuse to the public. Putting this here is doing nothing. What really needs to be done is protesting for something similar to this and giving education to students about it.

Ok - you may have had some verbal abuse being that it did lead to depression and mistrust.
I do realize mental illnesses and mental disorders can be incapacitating in n of themselves. I myself have depression and anxiety - those are in no way caused by my abuse nor do they effect me because of my abuse. I also have PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder. Both of these things were caused by my abuse. PTSD effects me directly because of the abuse, Borderline Personality Disorder effects me because of the abuse combined with other factors. Now - this would be true regardless of how severe these diagnoses are. My diagnoses are severe enough that when I work the stress puts me in a suicidal state within 3mo or less on a continual loop (meaning after I return to work from being discharged from a psych hospital I will again return to a suicidal state within 3mo or less). Some are worse than me. Some literally cannot function at all anymore.
If you read through this post (all the responses) .. not everyone believes the abuser should be locked away. One person proposed the idea the abuser pay the victim for the harm caused. If there were physical injuries - doctor bills. If counseling needed - therapy bills. If medication needed - prescription bills. If money stolen - return of money. If unable to work - pay cost of living (just as disability would otherwise be doing), etc... And also have counseling for his or her self.
You did not offend me. I was asking so I knew where your opinion was coming from. *hugs*
