I will start with one, and please add to this list.

Verbal Abuse, as for example:
-Ridiculing
-Threatening
-Condemning
-Berating
-Screaming
-Humiliating
-Cursing//Swearing
-Mocking

Now it's your turn - what other kinds of abuse are there besides verbal abuse as listed above?

Emotional Abuse
-Suppression and/or punishment for feeling or expressing emotions
-Isolation from peers
-Mental manipulation
-Inconsistent rules
-Hypercriticism
-Role reversal (such as placing the child into the role of a parent to the parent or siblings)
-Excessive chores that interfere with childhood play or education
-Suppression and/or punishment for creativity
-Withholding of love as a form of punishment and giving love as a reward for accepted behavior
-Forcing a child to fulfill a parent's emotional or physical needs (including sexual abuse)
-Invasion of privacy
-Disrespect of boundaries

Oh wait, thought of a few more on the Emotional Abuse

I should add: to your list, JillieBean71:

- blaming for things that go wrong

OOh....and:

-Being told you were unwanted or they should have had an abortion
-Unrealistic expectations (such as perfect grades, perfect behavior, etc.)

Jillie- add to your list
Emotional neglect- parent refusing to give love and emotional support. Any emotional wanting of the child is ignored or meet with ridicule.

I thought I should probably give others a chance....I have a list about a mile long! LOL

We should add physical abuse to this, because it happens as well. We all pretty much know the majors, like punching, slapping, beating, strapping, and so forth. Some people don't realize that shaking, shoving, pushing, tripping, being held down and tickled to the point of pain, spanking when it is sudden and the parent is enraged or when it leaves bruises, starvation, poisoning (I was reminded of the movie the Sixth Sense on that one), grabbing, and pulling are also forms of physical abuse.

Sexual abuse- (these are from my experience, I do not know what else falls into this category so if I miss stuff please pad the list for me!)
-Forced observation of masturbation
-Shaming you into having sex
-Blaming you when you do
-Restraining and forcing a child into having sex
-Threatening children into having sex
- Punishing children when/if they refuse to until they do
-Using "fetish play" on children (sex is already bad enough!) like bondage, choking, biting, spanking, ect.
-Forced oral sex
- Using the shame associated with it to control children to continue the abuse

Neglect is a form of abuse, and can include failure to provide adequate
-Food
-Clothing
-Shelter or housing
-Medical care
-Education
-Protection from harm
-Clothing
-Opportunities for socialization or friendship
-Appropriate parent-child interaction

This list is by no means complete, so please let me know what I've missed.

not sure if this fits but forcing children to exercise and/or do manual labor until they collapse?

Sexual harasmant without the sex act is also an abuse type.
I just wanted to add that to the list.

Ihavetoes is right. Abraham Lincoln's was rented out by the day as a child to local farmers to do labor, by his father, who then used the money from renting Abe to buy liquor for himself. Once in a drunken stupor, he would then proceed to physically abuse Abe, or give him a lickin' as was the more familiar terminology of the day. The practice of parents renting and selling their own children as factory workers (actually slaves) to make tennis shoes and handbags in Asia and other parts of the world is happening as you read these words. Sadly, so is the practice of parents renting and selling their children for sexual use. Yes, both boys and girls.

DovesWings, sexual harassment is abuse. As a man, I myself have been sexually harassed in a workplace, and it was humiliating and made my job an agony. It is very difficult to stop sexual harassment. I moved on to another job.

suppression of personality:
-Creating an environment where it's unsafe to be yourself
-Listening to secrets only to repeat them to other family or use them against you later (to judge your character)

Thanks, StephApparently. Suppression of personality is a very important item in our list.

Ritual Abuse
-Exorcisms
-Re-birthing rituals
-Casting out of demons
-Forced fastings
-Involuntary indoctrination
-Forced false confessions
