Information about abuse

[missmyfriend]

SG, I am wondering if the reason why the topic of abuse has come up front and center is if emotional abuse isn't occurring here by a certain possibly unbalanced individual?

Many people who have tried to escape an abusive situation are ignored until it becomes overwhelming or something horrible happens, only for other people to later say "I never thought this could happen".

It is apparent that most of the people who are the most upset have either been abused in the past or they are witnesses to abuse.

I have had to detach from the situation so I do not get too upset or defensive regarding the obvious abusive personality that we have all witnessed. The challenge I have in avoiding this has come to the point where it is becoming a topic across many threads. And I dont believe it is realistic to ask others to avoid talking about it. It is like saying to ignore the elephant in the room. You can try but it is too big to ignore.
