I hope none of you experience this, but I think this is a very important discussion to be had. Women need to be vigilant of the subtle and obvious ways men will use to abuse, especially if they choose to escalate.

Even in my personal life, I did not know I was emotionally, mentally, and verbally abused by a man that I loved until my own brain fog cleared. After reading the symptoms, my trauma finally made sense. My ex would hit inanimate objects when enraged. I wonder if this would have eventually been my face.
