Cadet, Once the new thread has been created, will it remain here in Newcomer's or will it become a separate forum, whereby it can be viewed and posters can click on that particular forum? I think it warrants it's own forum, i.e., like Newcomers, MLC, etc....but that's my opinion.
Here are some of the abuse topics that may and should be discussed:
1. Verbal Abuse 2. Emotional Abuse (social isolation and gaslighting would fall under this category) 3. Physical Abuse 4. Psychological Abuse 5. Sexual Abuse 6. Financial Abuse 7. Digital Abuse 8. Stalking (yes, it's a form abuse, especially when a relationship ends the one party can't accept that it's over and becomes obsessed w/the other party).
When the new thread and/or forum is set up, I will be more than happy to post the information that I have on all of the above topics. I would suggest that each topic have its own thread so that people will have an easy reference to each topic.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
