    I am sorry Chris that you were mentally abused.  I think that mental abuse is so serious.  I can feel your abuse and I do validate it.  I agree with you, it is very damaging and serious and I think that it affects us for the rest of our lives.  I guess all we can do is keep looking for some peace............go in peace and god bless you......Pam
