Xerxys

Hmmm, I understand what Cynthetiq is saying but I also disagree with you.

You see, it's about guidance. Sure it's unsolicited. But there's a fine line between us being preachy and telling the person that she'll wind up dead than simply telling her that she's very obviously not happy.

Now cynth, I don't think you quite get that a situation such as this is especially designed to usurp self esteem from the abused party. The conditioning is intense an far reaching. As the emotions are broken down the abuser essentially loses apathy for the other party and that's when it deteriorates to physical abuse.

I see where you used the context 'realm of possibility'. It's actually more likely than not. Sure King, the rest of us may have been emotionally charged. But please understand that this hits home and is quite painful even for an observer.

I wouldn't mind my own business ... this friend of yours needs emotional help which is why we make friends. It's what friends are for. I don't see an ulterior motive to be honest. Work is for financial stability, exercise for health, friends are for a cling to societal sanity.
