Why do some people recognize physical abuse but turn a blind eye to emotional abuse?

I agree with Trevo’s answer, in that many people aren’t aware of the consequences and affects emotional abuse has and I’d also like to add that I think many people are unaware of emotional abuse and what it actually is, primarily the people experiencing it or in the situation.

@Stark it took me 16 years to finally come to terms with the fact that this is what's going on. I suppose if I had a hard time admitting it, it could be hard for others to believe.
@Dewkissedrose there are many situations involving infatuation, love, romance where people are oblivious to how bad their situation truly is even though there are clear signs of it. A lot of the time they either ignore it or make up an excuse as to why it’s happening to justify the actions of the other person and people only know what you let them know or let them see. People typically paint a happy picture of their relationship so to others it may appear to be a healthy relationship. 🤷🏽♀️
