Emotional Abuse Is Far Worse Than You Think

Emotional abuse is traumatic, and not enough is being done about stopping it! How bad is it?

Most people are aware of the severe psychological trauma that sexual and physical abuse can leave on a child. However, according to the he American Academy of Pediatrics, psychological abuse is “the most challenging and prevalent form of child abuse and neglect.” And yet, psychological abuse remains a somewhat stigmatized topic. There aren’t even any laws against psychological abuse. So why does society seem to turn a blind eye to this devastating abuse in favor of more visible forms of abuse – like sexual and physical abuse?
