Dear Harlee Bajwa:

I like your suggestion to walk away from an abusive person. I wouldn’t be present there passively and take the abuse. On the other hand I wouldn’t “stoop down to that level” as you suggested, by, let’s say calling that person names.

You wrote: “there are situations where you can’t walk away”- can you give an example or two of these situations, and what should the person being abused say or do (if anything) in those situations?
