The Need for Silence...My Story

"You're disgusting"

"You are so stupid!"

"I can't even stand the sight of you."

"It's your fault that this happened."

"Don't you ever THINK???"

Hurtful words...contradictions...mixed messages...false feelings...verbal and emotional abuse, whether by themselves or together, is very painful. They leave scars that remain hidden until you try and move on...then the pain floods back. The scars never truly go away...

Experiencing such abuse from ones you love or are close to can be crushing to the self-esteem and heart, and no one should have to suffer from such cold-heartedness.

Please feel free to take the image below to help in the fight against verbal and emotional abuse. Whether you are a victim of verbal abuse, emotional abuse, both, if you know someone suffering, or if you just want to help us in the fight against such abuse, I would be honored to have you take this image and put it on your webpage.
