Rules to Follow
Minimum Requirements:
- A journal entry with permission given to me to edit and post to this site is required. Your journal entry can be any length.
- Please list at least three emotions you feel relating to your abuse.
- How did you find out you were being abused? Please include a short description of what "opened your eyes and ears" to the verbal abuse in your relationship.
Video and Sound Requirements
If you choose, you may submit sound or video along with your journal entry, list of emotions and short description of how you found out you were abused.
- Sounds and videos are accepted in English only. English is the only language I speak; therefore it's the only language in which I can verify the requirements are met.
- Sound or video clips may be included so long as last names and the abusers face or recognizable traits are not shown or used in the footage. No pictures of your abuser are permitted. You may submit pictures or video footage of yourself. If you post videos about your abuse to YouTube or another web service, you could include a link so I can embed the video(s) in your story page.
- Sound and video may be actual instances of verbal abuse, a video blog type entry, a discussion between you and a friend or any other creative session you create. However, I will not accept videos or sound bites from therapy sessions.
