Thanks for that, perhaps I'll look on Wikipedia and see if there are separate pages.
I kind of figured emotional abuse is when the abuser doesn't validate your emotions, if you get angry they make you seem like a bad person for it and up to no good, when you cry they treat you like a coward and make you look like you're weak, etc., and mental abuse is when they get into your mind and try to intentionally distort your way of thinking, put things in your head that aren't true.
Both of these have happened to me but I didn't know if there was a difference or the same sort of thing.
