Society should stop having that stereotypical image of abuse
Abuse isn’t always bloody noses and hungry babies.
Constant yelling/belittling/humiliating your child is abuse.
Making fun of your child’s interests/clothes/looks/insecurities is abuse.
Threatening your child to hurt them if they disobeyed you is abuse.
Calling your child names is abuse.
Making your child feel unsafe is abuse.
Making your child feel guilty for being different is abuse.
This stereotypical image is what makes a lot of abuse survivors doubt their abuse.
Emotional abuse is valid and it’s NOT less important than physical abuse.
