I haven’t seen it but in adult life I realised one of my school friends suffered that from her mother, but didn’t know it at the time.

In most cases, mental abuse is worse than physical abuse.

I have seen it Sharron. It seemed tjat the person who reported it was distressed by the menace in the woman's voice
, I was pleased that she then took the time and trouble of phoning the NSPCC

Hopefully more people will now come forward if they witness such abuse.

Have you seen the new NSPCC advertisement? I was interested to see that the operator found it so awful that a mother was threatening her little child that she would damage their teddy

I am on a number of support sites for the children of narcissists and we all agreed that that was just an everyday event for most of us.

It is very hopeful to see something like this, showing that psychological abuse is being noticed, reported and dealt with. Maybe, one day, it won't happen.
