Verbal abuse is still abuse.It’s abuse in the form of words. They still burn, sting, hurt and put us in danger. Don’t assume that a few hurtful words won’t cause them their life. Don’t assume that just because you haven’t put one finger on them, you’re not responsible for what happens after that. Mentally and emotionally, they are bruising, bleeding, suffocating. Your words have power, be careful. Speak life and love.
Just saw this on someone's tumblr and I just had to share it. Its a really strong message and soo true. People dont seem to get or take verbal abuse seriously. Its one of the things that drove me nuts when I was a social worker. It still does.
