Emotional Child Abuse
is a Global Problem
Emotional child abuse starts in the home as soon as the child is born. Its effects are horrendous because it affects the victim for the rest of his or her life. It likens a disease that starts off silently and when it becomes full blown, it holds its victim prisoner.I speak from experience. A very young child does not know if it is being abused or not. If the abuse takes on horrific dimensions such as with sexual and or physical abuse, the young child’s mind will split and an alter ego will take over in order to protect the child’s mind. This usually results in split personality disorder which is the extreme case scenario. On the other hand, emotional child abuse can lead to other forms of abuse when the child is an adult. Most adults do not know they are abusive to their children as they are usually repeating what their parents did to them. Even though they may say, I’m not like my mother, or father. They often forget what they (the parents) felt like as children. Under duress, they mimic their own parents’ behavior.
Controlling Parents
Emotional child abuse can also occur when the child is conditioned by controlling parents or caregivers who do not respect their children as little people. They do not let their children express their emotions or feelings, nor do they let them speak their mind. Also, they do not offer any kinds of explanations to their children’s inquiring minds. Controlling parents just want their children to behave - to be seen and not heard.
Punishment from controlling parents is usually over the top, meaning extreme. I remember times as a child when I received punishment from my mother that was so severe, I was often sick and would retch my guts out in the toilet. My mother had a severe temper and when she let loose, you didn’t want to be in the same county. I would literally shake when she lost her temper. Then I would fantasize that I were on a cloud floating high in the heavens. I forgot most of the situations that made her angry and the punishment that came afterwards. These are things children don’t want to remember and then their emotions become blocked. What happens later on in life without realizing it is that the child who was emotionally abused is still carrying the abusive situation along with their blocked emotions in their cellular memory which then vibrates out into their energy fields. Many encounters between men and women other than verbal and physical communication is on a subversive level. In the case of abuse, the victim and the abuser are not conscious of the vibrations that are going back and forth between them. On the subconscious level, it’s something like, Hi, I’m an abuser. Oh, hello, I’m a victim. Okay so let’s get together. Of course that is not what is said, but that is what is implied in their energy field. They are attracted to each other but in a negative manner. No one really likes being abused, but if that is all you are accustomed to, that is all you know. It is a pattern of behavior that you are not consciously aware of, and so are still behaving as one who is abused through your vibrations. The abusive patterns of behavior will continue until the abuser or victim realizes it, and will only be released when the behavior is acknowledged and when the abuser or victim is ready to release it.
