The cop whose kid died while left to sleep in an unheated garage was just sentenced in NY. From the testimony, it seems like the emotional abuse (which was ongoing, since the Dad won custody) escalated to neglect and then physical abuse pretty quickly.
I’m going to guess that in jurisdictions which have had sensational cases like this, allegations of emotional abuse will at LEAST open a file and trigger a social worker visit.
OP- I bet you can use the space more effectively in describing who you are. And hugs to you for being resilient!
