I do hope your mother gets through this! I would just like to ask if whether the abuse can be the verbal sort?

Oh! This is a great contest to have in her honor. How lucky she is to have someone who cares about her so much. Violence against women is such a horrible thing. If I can think of anything I'll participate.
