I would have to agree with you on how the term "abuse" is generaly used on these boards as a referance to physical "abuse". There are many forms of child abuse, one that is hardly rasied is the emotional abuse that occures. Now dont get me worng it has been addressed and I'm not saying that it is more harmful then the physical sexual abuse, I would have to say that they go hand in hand. Some times it is the emotional issues that can cause more problems then the actual act itself. I guess what Im trying to say is that the emotional aspect of it comes from the physical abuse, and some times its the emotional issues that are harder to work through then any thing else. It is amazing how it ALL affects the out come of the thought procces and ones look at life and the way it shapes you.
