Emotional abuse leaves few physical scars. Its victims suffer no broken bones, torn flesh or spilled blood. Still, those who are wounded might describe it as the most painful and destructive form of domestic violence.

While statistics are elusive, experts agree that emotional abuse — for mostly women, but some men as well — has reached epidemic proportions. And despite its everyday occurrence, few recognize it, identify it or even do anything about it.

We hope you will learn to listen to your friends', neighbors', relatives' — or maybe even your own — waspish, hurtful words. And if you are a recipient of this type of domestic violence, first hold yourself in high esteem, re-evaluate your relationships and then ask for help.  

Actress Jaxon Hill is from Soldotna, Alaska.  She studied at Idaho State University.  She shares the experience of another's abusive relationship. "Maybe He Doesn't Hit You," was written by Rachel Brown.  It was produced, directed, photographed and edited by Nid Collins @filmmaker.wy 

"Maybe he Doesn't Hit You," was recorded at the Chuck Wagon Restaurant on 3rd Street South in Laramie, Wyoming.  The producer extends a special thank you to the Chuck Wagon's owners, KC James and Leti Moncada for the use of their restaurant.  Nid Collins is a Laramie, Wyoming based filmmaker originally from Leicester, England.
