Emotional abuse is one of the most insidious and elusive forms of abuse in domestic relationships that cuts through all colors, genders, sexual orientations, socioeconomic classes. Emotional abuse does not leave a physical mark. When seen through an isolated incident, the abuse can seem trivial and nonsensical.
