THE SILENT HARM: EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION AND ABUSE BY MOTHERS IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY | LANCESCURV

In many families, particularly within the Black community, mothers are often seen as pillars of strength, nurturing, and wisdom.

However, beneath the surface, some mothers engage in emotionally manipulative and covertly abusive behaviors that leave lasting scars on their children.

Unlike physical abuse, emotional abuse can be difficult to detect, often masked under the guise of care, discipline, or concern.

This type of abuse stems from an unhealthy need for power and control, a twisted satisfaction that slowly chips away at a child's self-worth, identity, and emotional stability.
