Abuse

ABUSE
Aiming anger at another to harm them,
Betraying the trust of another to belittle them.
Use of control in a negative way for personal gain,
Satisfying self by inflicting pain on another.
Erasing your own happiness by robbing one of theirs.

Hi Marie I think thiis a very good acrostic,the way you've written it. And everything you say,sadly so true.It does come back on the abuser eventually,they rob themselves of love therefore robbing themselves of life.For what is life without love.Thank you for this.I love the way you write. luv June(Sylvia)
