I said that you know you are mentally abused if
-when you are with that person you lose your own identity
-that you have your own opinions, but after being with that person, you become confused and are no longer believe in yourself
Was what I told her correct?

Absolutely! You are a smart person. It's hard to decide whether or not you have been mentally abused because it's such a vague thing. Good Job!

I'm with the other person that answered this. This is absolutely the wrong way to raise your children and when you turn 18 get the hell out of there. But if you want to take action now, all you have to do is report abuse and neglect to the police or the Department of Children Services, they will remove you from the house and if they find that what you say is true they will arrest both of your parents for abuse, and assist to abuse or for witnessing abuse and not reporting it. You might go to various foster homes but for the most part they will keep you together. They only time they might separate any of you, is the two girls from the boy. But if you have a friend with parents that really care and are amazing, they can take you and your sister, and your brother if they choose, into their household and the government will pay them social security for all three of you, kind of like child support. Good luck! I hope for the best.

Some of what you told her is correct but you might also mention to her that if she has an overwhelming fear of the individual, feels totally exhausted whenever around the individual, or constantly receives abusive comments, mixed messages, or comments referring to her in a negative way also are telltale signs of mental abuse or cruelty. Hope this helps.

yes that all is true and it is also if they are always putting her down saying she will never amount anything and cusses at her and just puts her down and says mean things to her all the time what it mounts up too is if she had self esteem before the guy she is with and she has none now then you know for sure something is going on. but yes if she can not be herself around this guy then of course she needs to get out of the relationship before it gets worse.

I guess those are a couple of ways to be, but "mentally abused" is a very general phrase. She arguable could be! Maybe you should have her ask a college psychology major.

Sounds pretty accurate to me.
Basically if, you're feelings and thoughts change because of someone or something, and you're no longer who you were before. If you think differently about yourself and others because of an event or person in your life.

Not necessarily, but those are some of the signs. She'd need to see a licensed practitioner to know.

You gave a good answer. If she started to doubt herself and her beliefs when she was with someone it would be a good sign of mental abuse.

also any kind of verbal insults are some type of abuse.
