Abuse

Article Abstract by: prettygirl    

Original Author: dsg
Alot of women at some period in their lives is and will be be involved in some form of abuse . The abuse can
go from dangerously violent  to very emotional.  Abuse in any form can cause scars wether physically, sexually or emotionally that can and will last a lifetime.  women  have been beaten so badly that you shiver at just glance in their direction. women cry over the verbal abuse that leads them to low self-esteem. Women commit suicide over the mind torture of sexual abuse. Abuse  can happen to anyone of any age and it doesn''t care what your  race is or if you are male or female. I have experienced the misfortune of being abused sexually. That experience set the standards for the rest of my life . It is a neverending cycle. It messed up my life in so many ways; i do not enjoy sex, i have low self esteem, relationships dont last very long i feel lonely all the time, iget angry easily, i cant express myself and i dont trust anybody around me and this is just the tip of the ice berg.
This is the worst kind of abuse.  It involves both physical and mental abuse occurring simultaneously.   Alot of abused victims end in tragic manners that make front page headlines. Thats when everybody begins to wonder what they could have done to help and they know or feel our pain " THATS CRAP " , how can they know  when  havent even experienced it. It is much easier said than done. More often than not, you find yourself caught up in an abusive situation that has gotten out of control. We do not choose to get into that kind of situation. It isn''t something that we just wake up one day and decide they will get involved  in.  
Emotional abuse can start with simple and small comments. For example your partner tells you that an outfit makes you look fat or that you are stupid. Those small
comments begin to occur more frequently and bring about other degrading comments. Not before long, those harsh comments begin to fly out of their mouths sharply and bitterly and the verbal abuse has escalated to such a level that completely strips the victim of their self-esteem.
Physical abuse  also starts in a simple manner, that begins with a small slap or push. The partner will then quickly apologize and promise that it is not going to happen again but not before  long, it does happen again. The victim  soon finds themselves making up excuses for the bruises that usually draw stares.
