emotional abuse?

Question

please give your opinion on what emotional abuse is??

Answer 1

Its put downs, swearing, ignoring somebody, calling names, belittling, controlling, blaming somebody.

Answer 2

Well I don't know about any one else, but I was emotionally abused for 19 yrs., and yes it is the put downs, the name calling, the making you feel "lesser then" themselves, they know "much" more then you ever could know, the not talking to you when you talk to them, the telling you you are stupid, every thing that goes wrong is your fault; and never theirs, and the all too familiar question, "I don't know what''s wrong with you............? or "I don't know why you do stuff like that............" inferring they would never do any thing "like that."
emotional abuse is very devastating, and any of the above, or more, or even less is just as damaging as the other. emotional abuse is non-verbal sarcasms. And sarcasms is like "the tearing of the flesh."

Answer 3

in my opinion emotional abuse is kinda broad.... emotional abuse can be intentional (put downs, bullying, etc.) and unintentional (excluding, etc.).. it all depends on the situation

Answer 4

Anytime someone attacks you, makes you feel less than human,...makes you feel and makes others feel, that you are crazy, or a horrible person...denies you of the love you deserve, physically or emotionally...makes you feel hurt and bad all the time, for unreal reasons..there's a few for you..

Answer 5

Where some one likes to make you upset and gets a thrill out of doing it.

Answer 6

Someone that makes you feel you have no self worth and by doing that one looses their confidence and these tormentors control you.
