Domestic abuse and mental health *TRIGGERS*

[mitz]

thanks PR, psychological abuse is well hidden I think - especially with children. I was on the bus the other day, and this man behind me was sitting next to his mother and verbally abusing her the whole journey - telling her she was ugly and smelt disgusting - it was awful listening to it, everyone sitting nearby could hear him, as he was the only talking and he didn't shut up! - she moved after a while, and sat in front of the bus in the end away from him; and never said a word. It was horrible and i wanted to tell him to leave her alone, but that would not have been wise and could have made the situation worse and got me into trouble, but i felt bad just listening to him do that and not feeling like i do anything.
