A Terrific Website

A local survivor of an abusive relationship has created a compelling website that WHBW highly recommends. http://www.youarenotcrazy.com/ is the brainchild of a woman very savvy with web and graphic design who is rebuilding her life in the aftermath of a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship. She shares her experience and along the way educates visitors about the devastation of emotional violence and encourages survivors to know they are not alone. She tops it all off with a innovative game that really drives the point home. Visit it now by clicking here.
