How small can some form of mistreatment be to call it abuse? Is it parents screaming strings of curses at their children? (aka: m*****f*****, b****, yes my dad does that sometimes) I'm sure you could classify incest. My dad suggests that it might be kids slacking off and not helping their parents. There's no such thing as parent abuse, in my opinion. Is it parents showing porn to their kids? Violent physical beatings could also be called abuse. Some people are abused....

Sigh. Some things in life are just bad. This is a just-bad thing. My father beat my mother and now he'sin jail. I had to move out of town to live with my mother. She has temporary custody of me and is trying for full. Sigh. I can't even talk about it.
