Emotional abuse is a very real thing.
People may not believe it is, since it doesn't effect them. Physical abuse is more common because no one ever talks about their parents calling them stupid for no reason. Believe me, emotional abuse is real. I am a victim.
Little comments go a long way. When someone calls you a "dummy" that's one thing, but when it becomes a natural instinct to flinch at a loud voice, and submit to someone constantly destroying your self image, there is a problem.
I have a severe problem when people do things such as close a door too hard or close their eyes and sigh. "Have you ever heard of apologizing?" Is something my dad yelled at me once and I've been apologizing for existing ever since.
Emotional abuse is real, and it needs to stop.
