Should I describe abuse in my Additional Information section?

If the GC were to know about this, child protective services might be involved. I don’t know about college admissions officers, but guidance counselors are definitely mandated reporters.

This is a very good point. OP has bluntly stated that they grew up in an emotionally abusive home. It’s unclear whether child protective services was ever called in or whether the emotional abuse is ongoing. If OP discloses this to their GC for the first time now, it could trigger mandated reporting.
