Alright, I've renamed the Survivors of Abuse to Survivors of Violence so that forum is now purely for physical abuse/ domestic violence. I've made a new Survivors of Sexual Assault forum. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | There needs to be a place for survivors of verbal and emotional abuse. Abuse is not limited to physical violence.

Although many would think that verbal and emotional and pyscological abuse is not a major issue, it can reduce a persons confidence and self esteem and cause all kinds of depression in some cases.
I would like to see this type of forum for those who go through verbal abuse, ect..  |

I understand the intention to make the sexual assault section separate, but why not keep it as 'survivors of abuse'? |

Reps: 20,062 (power: 35) | | | I'm sorry, not to offend anyone, but I don't see what the point in changing the name of this forum was. We currently have a survivors of crime forum which would fit people who were victims of violence. When people hear the word violence, they think of physical things. I personally don't see the emotional abuse I was put through to be violence. Someone mentioned they were concerned that this forum didn't include sexual abuse, but this forum covered all abuses, and we now have a sexual assault forum. Can someone please explain to me the point in this change?
