  • "Just leave" is a superficial suggestion: that is very often the trigger for escalated violence and in many cases, murder by male partners and ex-partners.

    The difference between psychological and physical abuse is that the former does not threaten life or serious injury: in Australia between 1 and 2 women per week are killed by present or former partners and an even greater number suffer lifelong brain damage and other permanent injury. This cannot be compared with "psychological abuse", whatever the fuck that is

    • Psychological anuse would be the degradation, manipulation, etc, used to threaten and control. It may or may not be coupled with physical abuse and can be every bit as serious as physical abuse. The situations you have just described in your comment feature both types.

      Are you really that stupid?
