Not sure if this is true, but I have been told that often emotional abuse/neglect is often harder to deal with than physical abuse.
I was not hugely psychical abused, though quite a few time the punishments I received would land a person in jail these days. All of that doesn't bother me, it's the emotional isolation and neglect/isolation that still haunts me.
