In reply to: chrisk 's message, "I don't know about abusive but there was that episode where she talked about her father coming home drunk, beating on her mother and calling for little sarah to come take his shoes off- she didn't paint a pretty pitcture though he clearly told her mother her father didn't hit her" on 19:50:25 01/21/07 Sun

But in that same conversation she implies that her father was emotionally abusive. Her mother dismisses it as "picking on her", but Mac implies it was more than just a few nasty verbal comments. (NT) -- lobsterdoc, 19:53:26 01/23/07 Tue
- Oh, I don't doubt that he was emotionally, mentally, and verbally abusive to her. It's just that she specifically said that he never hit her. I know from experience that it is quite possible for someone to abuse you in every way except physical and sexual. (NT) -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 20:19:42 01/23/07 Tue
  - Agreed. I guess I was really replying to the earlier part of the thread that suggested that Mac's abusive childhood was fanon rather than canon. I think there's enough evidence from the show that she had an abusive childhood even if the bruises were not physical. As you pointed out in your post. (NT) -- lobsterdoc, 23:46:27 01/23/07 Tue
  - Emotional/psychological abuse is every bit (if not more) destructive than physical abuse. A broken arm heals. A self-esteem that has been trampled on may never walk upright again. Mental scars last longer and are deeper than physical ones, in my experience. (NT) -- clr, 16:03:22 02/10/07 Sat
