It is mental abuse, but even though they are saying things like this to you, they may not realize exactly how damaging it is. I had parents who loved me more than anything, but growing up they did use mental/verbal abuse at times. I don't feel they done this to hurt me or anything else. I think they did it because they hoped it would push me from doing the things they were saying. Sort of like tough love, I guess you could say. If I were you, I would sit down with my parents and talk to them about it because it is very damaging. Although I don't feel mine did it to be damaging, I can say it did damage me in ways.
Is this Mental (Verbal) abuse? And IIN?
