(and The Shadow said:) When I worked with abused women it always alarmed me how frequently they MINIMIZED the abuse. Even some of my co-staff were in the habit of minimizing abuse.
Hi Shadow,
What I meant was that Impact was, minimally, (as in [i:a7025a865a]at the very least[/i:a7025a865a]) verbally and mentally abusive...they were probably abusive in more ways than this, and I believe they really poured the abuse on.
I was just given a referral to a book on happiness, called Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert. Gilbert wrestles with questions like, "Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink?". Perhaps he should have a new book that talks about why so many people are so willing to forgive or overlook all of the abuse that Impact dishes out when, if they really could see if from a different perspective, they would be outraged (like some of us are) for what Impact does to people, and where they plan on taking them if they can just keep sucking them into the "need" to do the next course.
