Is screaming and cussing at your child considered emotional abuse?
My dad is always, and I mean always, cussing and screaming at me for no reason at all. He makes me feel stupid. He also compares me to my other siblings in a negative way and demeans me. Is this abuse?

<p>Yes, screaming and cussing at your child is considered abuse.</p><p>Here are two points I suggest you consider for your situation.</p><p>If your dad is ever calm when you and him are with one another, &nbsp;ask for some time to talk about your relationship with him.</p><p>Schedule it for sometime in the near future from your request. &nbsp; This way he has time to consider his points of view on his relationship to you. &nbsp;</p><p>Even if he does no thinking about your relationship at all, he will not feel pressured by the surprise of suddenly being expected to talk about a topic he may prefer to prepare himself.</p><p><br></p><p>My second point to you is to keep steady in your own views of who you are. &nbsp;When a parent demeans and mistreats a child, the child is affected in a negative way. &nbsp;Concentrate on loving yourself and keeping people in your friendship circle who care about you.</p>
