It turns out it is subject that has personal issues for Tyra. I watched the show and she talks about her experience dating a man who emotionally abused her. She said an ex boyfriend tried to break her down because he wanted control. One day, she woke up and decided to end the relationship. A very smart move on her part.

The Oprah Winfrey Show has never turned away from addressing delicate issues. If you have read the Oprah Winfrey biography you know she was sexually abused as a child herself.

 Abuse on any level, mental, emotional, physical or sexual can not be tolerated. If the Oprah Winfrey show or any other national talk show devotes time to this ever increasing problem I commend them for it. The majority of our social ills can be directly linked back to abuse of some kind in our childhood. It really is time to wake up folks.
