Yes, you were emotionally abused. If you were being told all the time that you were stupid, being too sensitive, being told to shut up, you need to grow up and get over it, etc., -- yes those among many others are abusive.

I was emotionally abused in a much different way. I got NOTHING -- no attention, no hugs, no "I love you", absolutely nothing. 99% of the time they didn't even know I was in the house. Plus they insisted I get married at 18.

If you could answer yes to those questions in that article, and it all made sense to you -- then you WERE abused!!

God bless you my friend. And keep posting, okay? Hugs, Lee
