Question

how can we make emotionally abusive parents and siblings into less hurting.does younger siblings using filthy language with older ones come under that.how to deal with dominating male siblings.

Answer 1

Emotional abuse is in the common form of berating (someone telling you you're worth less than what you are). Using foul language can fall under this category but it often just gets categorized as verbal abuse, as does berating someone but that's more emotional since it hurts deep down when people start to chop away at your worth. Dominating male siblings....that's tough. Unfortunately there is no "wonder cure" for that, you'll either have to just wait it out or stand up for yourself. Either one could have some negative consequences (standing up for yourself could get you beat up by the older siblings, depending on just how dominating they are and just waiting it out could have effects on your mentality) so it's all just up to you and what you want to do. If you want to, use force when you talk, but not foul language. Good luck with that.

Answer 2

Anything that induces fear, acute shame and all excessively negative feelings about oneself. The abusive person can be the dominant parent, spouse, sibling in an environment where there is no parent prohiting emotional hurt--and most often, comitting parental abuse themselves.
Re the younger male sibs abusing older girls, this is often a cultural "permission" of males dominating females. If not a cultural thing, then if can be a mother who values her boys more than her girls; a father who is abusive to wife and daughters/often sons, too. Possibly a mother who was abused by an older sister and allows her son to be abusive to his sister. It's either cultural and/or modeled by our families.----"How can we make emotionally abusive parents and siblings into less hurting?" Can't be done! Just get yourself out of the environment as fast as you can safely! That may mean severing ties altogether--but otherwise, why should a person continue allowing people to hurt them!!! That's NOT LOVE!!

Answer 3

The reason that siblings are emotionally abusive is because they see parents that behave that way and it's the model they base their own behavior that way, believing it's acceptable. When a spouse disrespects another spouse in front of the children, they believe they can do it too. It sets a pattern of communication in the family that is stressful. Anytime a person belittles another by calling them stupid, worthless, lazy or withholds love or threatens abandonment, then that is emotional abuse. If you are experiencing this at home and you are of school age then you should speak to a school counselor about this.

My parents always told me that I was not, "working up to my potential," and sometimes in very nasty tones.

My brother (3 years younger than I) was always receiving compliments - though I knew that he was really a rotten little boy. He would beat me up, and I could not hit him back because I was older and bigger than him.

I became a potty-mouth because the parents, and my little brother were potty-mouths. I just tried so hard to fit in--it didn't help matters.

Emotional abuse is putting another person down--and often enough that the person loses a lot of self-respect and self-esteem. They start to feel as though they just can't do anything right, and that everyone else is better than them. They can wind up with no self-confidence whatsoever, as I did.

I have six children, and the older one would always gang up on the younger--and that continued with all of the kids. The very youngest didn't take it--but she felt at age 14 that she was an adult--and got herself mixed up in adult situations where she had no business.

Answer 5

Emotional abuse is any abuse which inflicts emotional pain or trauma through words or actions other than physical violence.

There appears to be a trend in emotional abuse. Abusers often took emotional abuse as children from their parents, friends or peers, so it is a vicious cycle. The best way to prevent this cycle from continuing is to stop emotional abuse before it gets worse.

An example of emotional abuse in a family would be the following scenario - a father tells his young son "you're a piece of crap and will never amount to anything" and the child grows up believing this, and is likely to bully others or when he has children to call them the same thing.

It's not restricted to parent-child relationships. For example, a jealous lover tells her boyfriend "no girl would want you so you better stay with me" in an attempt to sooth her own fears of abandonment, but in turn is inflicting emotional pain. This can lead her boyfriend to develop self-esteem issues, and is emotionally damaging. Another example could be the school bully constantly teasing a child for being different, which leads the child to commit suicide as a young adult.

It can be difficult to deal with those who emotionally abuse others. They usually have some psychological issues themselves, such as low self-esteem or abandonment issues. Encouraging open talking is important, and sharing your feelings can make a different. Telling your older brother "it hurts when you call me names, and I look up to you, so can you please stop?" can actually be quite effective. If it's not, remove yourself from the situation as best you can or find someone who you can look up to to talk about the situation and get their feedback.

There is no easy answer with emotional abuse, and one answer doesn't fit all situations. A family or relationship counselor or psychologist is highly recommended, because emotional abuse is never okay. It can have serious implications and lead to self-mutilation, depression, social withdrawal, low self-esteem, and even suicide.

Answer 6

emotional abuse is any form of mental and emotional manipulation that causes the person its being directed at to doubt themselves and their own abilities ... Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse, but can be a whole lot more subtle than that... one form which is particularly subtle involevs what I call TOXIC people... they are people who everyone usually thinks are wonderful and sweet people, yet if they decide to direct their abuse at you... they will be nice and sweet, but when ever anything goes wrong they will somehow turn it around to make you feel like you have to try and rectify the situation... even if its nothing that you have actually done or could have predicted... your emotions are constantly confused... and if you try and explain what is going on to someone else... they won't always believe you coz its totally unlike the person they know...its only when you get perspective and remove yourself from the relationship (and it doesn't have to be just romantic, it can be friends, parents , siblings etc) that you see how they manipulated everything so that they came out smelling like roses...

These types of people will always deny their behaviour and will make it seem like you took everything out of context... My advice... remove yourself from contact with them asap... it will improve your own mental health...
