I've written a paper: Society's Hidden Epidemic: Verbal Abuse: Precursor to Physical Violence and a Form of Biochemical Assault....it is 22 pages!

I am honored that a Dr. Martin Teicher (McLean University;/Harvard School of Medicine) sent me brain images of VERBAL abuse victims; in that the brain physically changes. I had the slides years ago, but lost them.

The end of my paper said....October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month"----sadly, for abused women (1 in 3!), they are aware every day of the year. Every 9 seconds a woman is assaulted. This is a human rights violation(s)....I will never be quiet until I can get on National TV to speak of this evil that pervades the world. I still dislike that word, "domestic".....it should just be plain....violence.

Love to all, Alice
