Emotional and Psychological abuse , it it as bad as

I do believe it is just as painful as physical abuse, however, I'm not sure if I agree that it's more painful. The only reason I say this is, anyone who is being physically abused, is also enduring psychological abuse. A person cannot be physically abused without there being some psychological and emotional impact on them. Any kind of abuse is incredibly saddening whether it be physical or psychological, but I don't think one is worse than the other. I definitely agree though, psychological abuse follows you into adulthood. I think we've all suffered at least some form of it whether it be from parents, friends, schoolmates, etc. Every little thing leaves an imprint. It's what you do with those imprints that matter. You can choose to have the struggles of your past motivate you to do something positive, or dwell on them and live in a negative atmosphere. I choose to conquer! :)

hi little franciscan To me physical abuse will soon be healed but emotional and psychological abuse scars the mind and leaves lasting problems for a person male or female.Usually the person who suffers real physical ab use also suffers lasting results from emotional and psychological abuse. You handle it like any other ersonal problem one day at a time, maybe trying to get some counseling from a psychologist also.

Hi little franciscan: I have no doubt someone can abuse a person psycologycally, making him/her feel really sad or playing with his/her emotions. It's a pain that remains with you because it's all in your brain and sometimes people feel so affected that even if they haven't suffered physical abuse they are mentally hurt and they can recover after the abuse committed this way. ALVARO

littlefranciscan ..I don't know anyone who has gone through an extreme in an abusive situation, but I think we all can imagine a little since most of us have at one time or another been hurt by something someone said. I definitely think verbal abuse especially extreme and constant is very very destructive..more so that physical abuse. The physical heals and though some emotional scars are there from the very experience of physical abuse, I think verbal can be more devastating. It would maybe depend too on who was doing the abuse..from a parent would be the worst I'd think since we all long for parental approval to some degree.

All kinds of abuse are painful. We never want to have that as a human being. We are born to be care and to care others and people have no right to abuse us. This could have a big impact for some victim and it takes time to heal those wounds.
