Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.

Does anyone have experience with being graded on the "Lethality Scale"? I am wondering what people scored, and how they were 'handled' or treated after the score was decided upon? Haven't dealt with this before, and although I have held such dire results as possible outcomes in my mind for some time; it was jarring to hear a room full of "experts" announce their conclusion based on this assessment.
When I research this, I have found a 15 point evaluation. But, my judges said that they scored me a 7 out of 10(?). Are there different scales in use? Are they not universal, such as the Glasgow Coma Scale & the Brazleton Scale for newborn assessments?
Any info., insight, exp. will be greatly appreciated. This is new and scary territory for me. Really, I'm scared! Anxiety rising.......

i just googled it and what comes up? this post. this scares me that this stuff comes up so easily on google. what if my psycho neighbor googles soda blasting and finds my posts about him? or my abusive exes find this? who knows what could happen. something needs to be done about this. i've seen a lot of complaints about it.

I know! When I was made aware of that, thanks to "WanderingVet!!", I almost closed my account. I know that some people did do that. As it stands now, my info. might as well be on a Neon sign with a large, blinking arrow pointing at my house, because they are requiring me to inform everyone about everything. So much fun... Can't wait till the info. gets to my insurance agent. I am sure all of my rates will sky rocket!

I am nervous to cry in front of other people including my therapist because I can’t anticipate how he will react. Most of my life I was either beaten or teased for crying and during some of the worst of it I was told not to cry. My therapist asked me how I would want him to respond and I had no words. Maybe just a gentle reply that it was ok? Any positive therapy responses to crying?...

It's so hard to move on from multiple traumas since childhood onward. I was forced to grow up without a family bc they abused me so bad. I was treated like I didn't exist when I wasn't being abused. It has effected me and my life in every way possible. I haven't been able to have anything that resembles a normal life bc of this despite years of therapies and medicines plus self help practices.
