How Can I Tell if I Have Abusive Parents

Maryssa Presbitero, child advocate at DASAS, helps answer the question "How can I tell if my parents are abusive?" Child abuse is more than physical violence or neglect. It can come in many other forms like narcissism, trying to turn the child against a parent, making the child responsible for the parent's emotional well-being and more.
