Emotional abuse harms family ties

• April 27, 2024

There are adults who suffer abandonment by their family nucleus and do not always have the answer that provides relief from the pain caused by this situation, which causes serious damage to their emotional health .

Jenifer Linda Salinas , teacher in Science and psychologist of the Child Development Centers (CENDI) , explains that the indifferent treatment of the parents towards one of their children is an indicator of rejection, which provokes feelings of guilt, anger and / or sadness in the person who suffers it, since he does not find an explanation to what happens because He hopes to receive protection, and shows love and interest from his parents.

The specialist comments that the attitudes of favoritism towards one of the children can cause problems of coexistence and damage the affective bonds within the family nucleus, since this attitude is considered violent from the discriminatory point of view, in addition, to the rest of the children it generates suffering and they may feel unworthy of the affection of the one who manifests the preference towards another member.

The environment of exclusion affects the relationships of the whole family and can even impact on the bond of partner parental.

Some behaviors that indicate emotional abuse are

• Rejection: Avoid having physical and / or emotional closeness.
• Isolation: Establish little or no contact with the child.
• Ignore: From the presence of the other when both are in the same place, to omit their attempts to establish some communication.
• Indifference: Do not show interest in what happens to the child.

Jenifer Linda Salinas recommends avoiding at all costs that this experience provokes rancor or hatred, and on the contrary, you learn the positive aspects of it to improve the emotional health . Advises to attend therapy to break the cycle of emotional abuse and to be able to heal the wounds that have been provoked throughout the personal history, as well as to reconcile the disturbances and memories of the past.

The expert recommends writing a letter to the child that the adult was, in order to express everything he considers important and seek to claim his pain. For more information visit Bojorge@teleton.org.mx
