Author's Notes/Comments: 

I listed this under Abuse because this mentally and emotionally abuses a person; which winds up taking a toll on their bodies. Even though they know the words spoken are fictitious they don't often speak out because they don't think anyone will believe them and if they do nothing can be changed. It's a fate worse than death to leave a life full of lies and mistreatment over someone's assumption.
