i had to be talked into the idea of mental abuse, and it still sounds weird and disrespectful towards victim of real abuse.
Mental abuse remains a difficult thing to quantify because mostly, people remain ignorant of it. But make no mistake - Mental Abuse is just as real as physical, sexual or verbal abuse. It's just that it's execution is not as tangible. It's effects though, are devastating.

I totally understand what you're getting at Andrea.
