Yes indeed! Awareness helps, talking about it too helps. Its crazy! Abuse of one sort or the other occurs on relatively all levels right from the sublimal level, to the all blown out in your face level...

The best way to combat abuse is to strengthen your inner man, and remain good to yourself and to others in all situations.

The apostle Paul hit the nail on the head when he wrote "do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"
