20 People in the United States are affected every minute by abuse. Abuse takes many forms. (Mental, Physical, Emotional, Verbal, Stalking, Rape and more). Many people believe abuse is only consist of physically hitting someone. However, this is not true. When we look at the definition of Abuse- cruel and violent treatment of a human or animal. Yelling at someone for hours on end is considered abuse.
When a human is being treated cruel or violently they begin to shut down mentally. If someone was to yell at you for hours on in end for a mistake you made, how would that make you feel? Obviously not very nice. Imagine this happening to a small child. That is exactly what happened to me. My step mother used to verbally and physically abuse me for nocturnal enuresis. This was just one of the many people in my life who would abuse me over the next 25 consecutive years.
Typically someone who has been abused in some form themselves will inflict abuse on their spouse or child and even friends. Typically abuse is inflicted by someone close to you like a spouse or parent and even sibling. Nobody should ever have to suffer abuse, but unless someone breaks the chain then nothing changes.
