The word "abuse" sounds so .... victimizing, so negative ...
I wish there was a different way of saying it. I guess it is suppose to sound negative, but for cases where is not so brutal, it really sounds harsh. Maybe that is why I have such a hard time accepting it. gab __________________ gab |

I know what you mean! I look at my mom and go "Her, abuse me? Never!" But I guess that's what it was... and it's hard to know what to think of it.

I know what you mean, the one word that still bothers me is r*pe, that word bothers me.
"a" use to trigger me, his name but not anymore. Another word that I find triggers is being called "woman" I HATE IT, he always use to call me that, this current boyfriend does once in awhile, but I just have to keep reminding myself that this one is not him, is nothing like him, and i'm safe, it gets easier then ,but still throws me for a loop once in awhile. I tend to talk fast when I have to talk about this stuff , almost like I want to purge it out as fast as I can. Telling it again to someone that's when I talk really fast..but I also do it when i'm nervous. WOAH going off topic now. But yes words do trigger me ,it's not fun. <font color=red>~Sundance~</font color=red> <font color=blue>"Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
