Emotional abuse is hard to prove because most of the people in the justice system (from the Police to lawyers up to Judges) don't really think that it is a crime. When you counsel with a domestic violence worker - you will see posters covering all available wall space about emotional and verbal abuse - walk into the court room and the judge is squinting at you - looking for bruises, casts or broken teeth. They don't understand the syndrome thinking that - "if you don't like it why don't you just leave" - they don't realize that by the time you actually appear in a court room - you have been called so many names, threatened so many times, intimidated, held down, falsely imprisoned, spat upon etc etc ... The other problem is that there are some women who try to use Emotional abuse as leverage in a divorce. "If I cry abuse - I can keep the apartment and the big screen TV because he will have to leave!" This is a shame for those who really are in abusive relationships, but some of the damage is done. Not sure why the question is being asked, but my advice would be...take advantage of the perpetrators mistakes. Most abuse is often fueled by drugs or alcohol - they will leave intimidating messages, they will break things in the house, they will say things in front of your family or friends. A record of these slip-ups will help you in court. Dates, times, events. If you are so far in that you can't keep your facts straight (don't feel foolish - that is usually what happens) keep a diary or ask a friend to keep one for you. You must document. The burden of proof lies with the accuser and some judges are hesitant to take action unless they are sure beyond a shadow of a doubt. Do not let the abuser isolate you - do not let him have you lie to protect him (and to keep yourself from feeling embarassed). This could escalate and become very dangerous - make your case before you try a restraining order because the perp will "punish you" for trying to get help. If you can afford an attorney - make sure your lawyer understands the syndrome so that you can be effectively represented and bring your witnesses. Sarah

Is calling a child a retard and other profanities considered emotional abuse?
= Emotional abuse is hard and I think worse in some cases than physical abuse. Bruises heal but being emotionally scared can make a child angry, insecure and withdrawn. It is of my own personal opinion very cruel and soul destroying for a child to cope with this, so yes I do believe it is emotional abuse. Answer It is absolutely emotional abuse.

Is it normal for a person's self-confidence to drop and take a while to recover after they are yelled at and humiliated in public?
Yes, that's very normal. The behaviours described are known as emotional abuse. It's just recently that emotional abuse is being accepted as abuse. Which is about time because in almost every form of abuse the emotional abuse is used. You cannot constantly abuse someone without restraining that someone in some way. Keeping people physically restrained is against the law, but emotionally restraining them is hard to proof and therefore a safe tool for an abuser to use. This makes emotional abuse actually a very evil practise. It is about time it got recognized as such. totally normal. If they didnt show any effects of an abusive situation like that I would be more worried that they were just locking the feeling away. To be shamed so publicly is not only crushing to the self esteem but also to the spirit. The subject of 'soul retrieval' is a good example. Part of you splits off when a trauma occurs. You can use creative visulalisation to go and collect that part of you that split off and reclaim your confidence your innate power back.
What is emotional neglect?
It is when someone doesn't treat you well enough mentally or emotionally or when you are in a relationship with someone but they don't do things to remind You they love you anymore. So emotionally you feel un loved and neglected. That is emotional neglect in love but there can also be emotional neglect towards a child where the child isn't talked to enough or isn't looked after. Hope that helped! Quite hard to explain!!
