Hi Purple, you can also google verbal abuse Patricia Evans. I belong to her site, & it's a good one. Same name there, so I'm easy to find.

Everybody here had to risk opening up at one time. My fingers were shaking so bad, I couldn't type at first. Now, piece of cake, spill my guts, no problem.

Take care. I love down under, especially surfer's paradise.

I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
