Review: It's really hard to read about abuse when you have been a victim,

It does not matter whether the abuse takes a physical, emotional or psychological path, it is all pain. I am so glad that authors have begun to expose this topic but it is still hard to read when there are aspects that bring the nightmares back.I can imagine the reviews of those who have never known what Rylie went through, how weak she was. The questions of why she did not just leave him. It is so easy to judge what you have so little knowledge or experience of that awful, terrible world. Some of us come out with deep physical reminders, some of us come out with deep emotional or psychological  reminders. Some of us do not survive. I have heard it said, that a society is judged on how the members of the animals we have domesticated are treated. I have no disagreement with that statement. I would only add that a society is judged by how the female members of Homo Sapiens are treated. For every cop, social worker, volunteer, psychologist or ordinary citizen who has taken a stand  or helped the victims of abuse, I salute you.
