So many people go through so much
emotional abuse
that it's pretty crazy. We are such an insensitive and selfish nation sometimes that we forget that words really do hurt. Or in some cases that would be the goal. In my opinion emotional abuse can just as bad as physical abuse or even worse. A lot of people just seem to think it's not a big deal. For example President Obama receives abuse in my opinion everyday for trying to do the right thing. But with that there is also a bit of racism as well. Maybe that's just on a different level.
However there has been countless numbers of people who have committed suicide or hurt themselves because of this form of abuse. Some even lash out because they can no longer take it and hurt others. Remember
Columbine.
That had a lot to do with emotions. Or maybe when a wife is constantly verbally attacked by her husband and does something unthinkable one day. There would be no excuse, but people just have to stop and think. Things like this may take it's toll on an individual and one day unfamiliar reactions take place. That's why I always try my best to treat people with respect and like I want to be treated. Because I've seen a lot of different situation and I always tell myself, "You never know."
It's sad but true and real. You never know what one person is capable of when pushed far enough. I mean you can have the sweetest, wholesome, all-American mother transform and snap into a cold-blooded murderer. All in one split second. Domestic violence as a whole is just plain wrong.
People do this for different reasons as well. I mean you may have a guy who puts down his wife or girlfriend. Calling her ugly and fat just to make her feel bad enough about herself to where she thinks she can't do any better. Some women do this or a form of this as well. I just feel that we all just need to change and focus on the better.
In relationships you're going to have disagreements, arguments, and quarrels. You just have to know and understand when enough is enough, or that you're taking things too far.
