What is family abuse?

Answer 1

Family abuse is any form of physical, emotional, or mental abuse. If your family is constantly bringing you down, calling you names, or trying to hurt your feelings on purpose in anyway that is a form of emotional/mental abuse. If someone in your family, especially a parent, is hitting you or abusing you in any physical way that is abuse. really abuse from anyone in any form is not acceptable nor right. But even more when it's coming from your flesh and blood. if someone in your family is abusing you in any manner as I mentioned, or if many people in your family are isolating you or only treats you negatively, I would talk to s councelor for help. If you are being physically abused in any way I would definitely talk to someone and possibly involve law authorities. If you try and talk to the person/people who are inflicting abuse on you, they may get very defensive and deny that they are wrong. It may even cause them to lash out at you even more, especially a physical abuser. It is important to try and not provoke them as much as you can, and confide in someone who you are close with and that cares about you for help. You do not have to go through it alone, and you surely do not have to keep your mouth closed Statistics show (this is mainly concerning with physical abuse) that 9/10 kids are being physically abused in any form and do not say anything because they are scared. Do not be another statistic. I know because I've been in an abusive situation with a family member before and I never spoke up about it, until finally I couldn't take it anymore. I wish I had spoke up about it in the beginning so that it could have been stopped right away.
