I went through this and the other kinds of abuse growing up, and so did people close to me. Psychological abuse is still abuse and it has a profound impact on the rest of your life.

Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately this abstract stuff is basically vagueposting: it might help you feel better but not a whole lot gets across to the reader. I'd like to hear your story sometime but I don't want to invade your privacy.

I kept it vague for the same reasons that you don't want to invade my privacy. Despite being vague it does serve the purpose I intended it to: dispelling your argument that I don't understand abuse or that I'm "trivializing" "real" abuse.

The original comment that says anything short of "autonomy over themselves, their proprerty, and their privacy" is child abuse still does trivialize real abuse. I think you still have time to edit that comment to be more specific about the kinds of non-autonomy you think of as abuse.
