I hate how you have to disagree. I hate how I can't get mad.

Hey all! I don't know if anyone else has seen it yet, but after recently seeing the movie 'Tangled', I was struck by it's potential importance in shedding light on emotional abuse. This fellow wrote a better article on it than I could have: [link]
