Notes:
“Emotional abuse is the systematic diminishment of another. It may be intentional or subconscious (or both), but it is always a course of conduct, not a single event. It is designed to reduce a child's self-concept to the point where the victim considers themselves unworthy—unworthy of respect, unworthy of friendship, unworthy of the natural birthright of all children: love and protection.”
