I Know What Emotional Pain Can Do to a Person

I can say now that I have lived through every kind of abuse imaginable. I am grateful that I have got to a place I can recognize myself as a survivor instead of a victim but it took awhile. When I saw this experience I felt I needed to share what I tell most people whom I find out are or were in my situation at one point in time and still identify themselves as a victim.
I would much rather take a fist to the face than the torture of emotional abuse. It is the worst.
