Emotional abusive behaviors can be just as detrimental as the more easily recognized physical abuse methods of power and control. Non-violent tactics include withholding affection, insults, constant criticism and threats, to name a few. Emotional abuse is serious. Emotional abuse can have lifetime negative effects.
