I wish verbal abuse is as visible as physical abuse scars

Just a picture of a domestic abuse victim randomly shared by my group of friends. It's sad to see how some people choose to stay in such relationship but then again, I keep asking myself the same question - why am I staying in such a toxic relationship? 😞

I've seen injuries like that and worse. What's really sickening is when the victim attempts to report it and is told "It's not a police matter." :(

@Sharon I'm a paramedic and I've attended a few incidents of domestic abuse. My husband was also a victim of his previous wife so I have a better insight to these matters than most. It seems the "It's not a police matter" excuse is most frequent in cases of male victims of female abusers.
