Re: Abusive Friend- what do I do?

"However, lashing out physically is an end cycle. It's the pinnacle. Verbal can last for years....physical does not usually. Either someone leaves, or someone gets killed."

No.

Verbal can lead a person to kill themselves. Verbal can lead a child to wish her parent hit her, just so people could see and know. That there could be proof.

Verbal, because it has no proof, warps the world around it till the world makes no sense.

It is torture.

Physical abuse is no lesser or greater. I suppose I was physically abused as well, but to be honest I don't remember how the shoving, slapping and suffocating hurts any more(none of it left a mark). I do remember the words.

I still hear them. Right now. In particular. Tweet
