I do acknowledge that other people have gone through much worse situations.

What's difficult for me is that when some people treat it like it's nothing (like I'm just whining).
You're not wrong at all. I feel the same way when people tell me that others have had it worse. Emotional abuse is serious but it's not taken seriously.

No one likes to be invalidated and statements like those make it sound as if our voices are not being heard. I hear you. You're not alone.
