I agree with Eskie that in this situation it does not seem abusive to me. How else are you supposed to learn other than to see how your actions affect others?
Do you have other examples of how this tactic was used besides stealing or obvious misbehavior by a child that needs correction?
I'm not saying you didn't experience emotional abuse, but it's hard for me to call what you've described as such. Is it a manipulation, sure. But not all manipulations are abusive.
