Brief entry, gotta get going to church soon. When the violence is only psychological, the assaults happens through words, through mind-games like gaslighting, it can be just as bad as physical violence. Even worse. I know. I'm thinking about my suicide attempt seven years ago, a thousand years ago now it seems, and the long-term damage I still live with. I can still drive, do ordinary tasks but memory, concentration, cognitive processing have been impacted even to this day. The point is there's not the degree of help for victims of non-physical violence as there is for victims with bruises and broken bones but the need for emergency shelters and interventions is still there.
Question, the all-important QUESTION: What will it take to change that?
