but words will break my heart.
I'm prompted to write this diary for a couple of reasons. The first is that in my first DV diary, this subject came up and a few people expressed a desire for further discussion about this particular form of abuse. The second is (kinda sorta indirectly) Cindy Sheehan and her "resignation" from the peace movement, reportedly as the result of verbal abuse she received at Democratic Underground. There was some discussion of it in this diary, and that's what brought me back around to this subject.
