Why do people give different advice for different types of abuse?

why is it when someone is physically abused then they are told to run from that person?


why is it when someone is sexually abused then they are told to run from that person and press charges?


but when it comes to emotional abuse then everyone always says..';just live with it.. they are only yelling at you,.. its not like they are hitting you or anything..'; like if emotional abuse doesn't have the same effect as physical or sexual abuse does?


not say that physical abuse or sexual abuse isn't very traumatic because i know it is but it just seems to me that emotional abuse doesn't really get light like the other two..Why do people give different advice for different types of abuse?
I think that emotional abuse is just as dangerous as sexual and physical abuse.





if you are being abused emotionally (which is different from just having an arguement) then chances of emotional abuse developing into physical abuse is very likely.





No one should put up with abuse of any kind, whether its words or fists. Anyone who needs to hurt another to feel better about themselves are bad bad people. Leave them to stew in their negativity and go be happy without them.





Whoever says ';just deal with it, its only yelling...'; is a doorknob. Never listen to a doorknob.Why do people give different advice for different types of abuse?
It goes back to the Victorian response to the advent of modern psychology. If people were to acknoledge it, it is like admitting that they themselves are not perfect - indeed influenced by frued's ideas. Mybe they do like women similar to their mother, maybe they did envy their fathers penis. - Its heavy stuff even today.





Emotional abuse is similar, those people who denounce it are either so zen as to be able to rise above the meanings that may be attached to what people may say to harm them. Or they are somewhere in the spectrum of denial that they two can be hurt by the conitations of peoples language.





If you look at the patterns, emotional abuse is usually at the root of all physical and sexual abuse. It is all tranference of pain. And this is very confronting to most people. Most people in some way treat others like they were, at least at some stage treated themselves....Hmm makes you think about your motives dson't it.
Emotional abuse is definitely a form of abuse that can affect ones life to the core. It's kind of breaking a person's being. Many of these individuals need professional help to overcome their issues of the past. The ones that don't are still trying to figure things out on their own or perhaps take advice from someone they trust. Anyway, whether you seek professional help or not, you don't forget. You are left with scars. You can truly move on, when you know that it's been dealt with and you have overcome these obstacles in your life.


You must let go of for your own sake.
I think you're right. Emotional abuse can be just as bad, even in some situations maybe worse. And it should get more attention, and the victims more help and recognition.
