"I'd choose physical abuse over verbal abuse."
That statement never made any sense to me.
I mean having the living **** beat out of you hurts.
Then I realized
Your bones heal.
Bruises fade.
And everything stops bleeding.
After that you're just left with the words.
I can remember all the hateful words.
So, it makes sense being torn apart mentally is much more painful.
You can't unread text, emails, or letters.
You can not forget words.
