i came across this and had to post it.

this sh!t is real. a lot of people don't think words can cause that much damage..but they'd be surprised to see how many people actually deal with this on a regular basis (unfortunately!). and it's not just in men-and-women relationships. kids may have to deal with this too...as well as employees/colleagues and friends.

[aside from the physical aspect] verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse..AND leave similar scars.
