I had no problem with physical abuse, i don't remember the pain of being hit by another even though I have the scars....but you always remember the words.

Physical abuse often couples mental abuse. Neither is good however mental abuse changes the way we think , feel, look at love and relationships causes depression etc. So technically mental abuse is worse.

I am so sorry that either one has a play in your life. Mental abuse. Definitely harder to get over. Just think about positive things. The bruises go away. Talk to people that are your admires. Good Luck and God Bless.

The mental abuse stays with you longer...like a second skin. It seeps into your brain like a long term disease.
Your body heals faster than your mind. For that reason I would say that mental abuse is harder to get over.

both of them, I've been there myself, and it is very hard, i am in a new relationship now and i tend to bring that up about the other guy because i think he will do the some thing but he hasn't ,i just have my guards up with any guy now just pray on it if you even see a small sigh of someone doing that get away quick, this is the best thing to do, mental abuse is worse but just remember that your life is more important

Physical abuse can be more dangerous but mental abuse stays with you for a long time.

Since physical abuse also tortures the mind, I am guessing and broken bones and bruises heal faster than emotional scars, I am gonna have to go with mental abuse. After all, once the physical injuries heal, you are still left with the emotional trauma.

physical abuse i personally know you can get over since friends i knew were abused physically but the tough thing to getting over is mental abuse. these things have lead many to suicides, drugs, and alcohol.be one of those people where you can move on with your life. don't resort to things that you know is bad for you. all it does is cover the pain not heal it. mental abuse is definately hard to get over but with good people around you it shouldnt be a problem. hope you can move along with your life. good luck and peace.~
