It is difficult to identify because it can be so subtle and insiduous. Most emotional abuse, like physical abuse, happens in private, both can result in scarring, but the difference here is that physical scars can be seen, emotional abuse scars the soul!
Different Parenting styles are all equally valid, as long as the persons basic human rights within a relationship aren't effected... whether that be a child/parent, spousal, sibling, or friend relationship.
Certain rights should be present in a relationship, the more of these rights that are being denied, the greater the abuse...
The right to live free from accusation and blame
The right to live free of criticism and judgments
The right to have your work and interests spoken of with respect
The right to expect encouragement
The right to live free from emotional and physical threats
The right to live free from angry outbursts and rage
The right to not be called by any name that devalues you
The right to receive good will
The right to receive emotional support
The right to be heard by your mate and responded to with courtesy
The right to have your own viewpoint, even if your mate has another viewpoint
The right to have your feelings and experiences acknowledged as real
The right to receive a sincere apology for jokes you find offensive
The right to be respectfully asked, not to be ordered
The right to clear and informative answers to questions that concern what is legitimately your business
If these rights are present then I do not see how a particular parenting style can be considered abusive....
Hope this helped
Bishy xSome people argue that emotional/psychological abuse is difficult to identify because parents have different ?
you didn't quite finish the sentence...
Parents have different what?
