This is a space where every form of abuse belongs and needs to be discussed. We are here to break the damaging stigma that emotional, verbal, financial, or psychological abuse "doesn't count." We reject the old lie that "sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Verbal abuse is domestic violence. Physical &amp; sexual harm, Name-calling, belittling, threats, gaslighting, manipulation, and constant criticism leave deep, lasting scars. Any act that uses power and control to harm another person is abuse. We are breaking the cycle of minimization. Helping people view abuse not just as separate entities, but as the interconnected system of violence that it is.
