Emotional abuse is traumatic, and not enough is being done about stopping it! How bad is it? Tara from Discovery News tells us how bad it is.
This is an older post I put up, but I feel it is incredibly important to understand that all forms of abuse and childhood adversities need to be addressed in order for children to heal and to grow up happy. The above video references the study below. Thanks
