Have You Been Abused?


Several types of abuse include:

Spiritual abuse: abusive or aberrational practices identified in the behavior and teachings of some churches, spiritual and religious organizations and groups.Sexual abuse: The improper use of another person for sexual purposes, generally without their consent or under physical or psychological pressure (also, child sexual abuse, whether abused by parents, those in loco parentis or strangers).Physical abuse: Where one person inflicts physical violence or pain on another.Verbal abuse: When a person uses profanity, demeaning talk, or threatening statements.Emotional abuse or psychological abuse: coercion, humiliation, intimidation, relational aggression, parental alienation or covert incest: Where one person uses emotional or psychological coercion to compel another to do something they do not want, or is not in their best interests; or when one person manipulates another's emotional or psychological state for their own ends (see battered person syndrome), or commits psychological aggression using ostensibly non-violent methods to inflict mental or emotional violence or pain on another.Drug abuse: the misuse of drugs.

I have never ever been abused until a few minutes ago when someone called me a poopoo head. C'mon, I don't think there is one person I know that hasn't been abused in one form or another. The question should be a little more focused.

Yeah, I've suffered lots of school bullying, they stopped after I got taller than any other kid on the school, but the damage was already done. I'm still struggling to get rid of all the traumas and paranoid emotions I developed back then :\

The very first words that I can remember were those of my mother shouting "IDIOT! IDIOT!" in my infant face. I didn't know what it meant, but I knew it was something bad, and that I was it.-The kindest thing I can say about my parents is that they were not healthy people.

I don't know a single person who has never ever been even slightly abused in at least one of the forms you mentioned
