So right. Especially that last sentence. No, the emotional abuser is never going to admit having abused you. Instead, the emotional abuser will simply point to the fact that he/she did not do extreme things like starve you lock you in a closet, so what are you complaining about? You're being oversensitive, and besides, it's not healthy to hold a grudge. In other words, more emotional abuse, this time in the form of invalidating, making it your fault.
