Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
Sometimes, being a parent is really hard, but we often prevent them having or doing things we know are bad even though they don't. Imagine going to the zoo and your daughter sees a lion, thinks of the Lion King movie and thinks it would be GREAT to give the lion a cuddle. Would you let her do that, because it would upset her if you didn't? Of course not. This is no different. This is your chance to stand strong for her, even though she doesn't yet understand your reasons.
Big hugs to you both.
