I agree that survivor of childhood emotional abuse should be included with the other types of childhood abuse. It should also be included in all the drop down menus like everything else.

I also felt dismissed when I first came and did not see emotional abuse. I find it is often overlooked in so many situations and that because there are no bruises or broken bones it doesn't count. And it wasn't like anyone I reached out to growing up did anything to stop it. It was ignored by all those mandated reporters. Not that anyone could have done anything because there was no proof. And without proof I was left to deal with it on my own.
Thanks for this!
