Has anyone in your family ever called you ugly?

All throughout my childhood (and on occasion now).
I only see it as verbal abuse because he absolutely meant to tear me down and ruin my self-esteem. I'm not over it.

Abuse is abuse, whether it's verbal, mental, emotional, physical or sexually. If someone continually puts you down, insults you, demeans you, that is abuse. To say something in anger once is not abuse. Abuse is chronic and continual in nature. It can leave the victim feeling unworthy, unloved and wishing he were never born

I was called stupid. I think using words to hurt others is a form of abuse. I realized I did not have to accept that label they pinned on me.

Yes I have. It's definitely abuse as words such as these can have a negative impact on you and how you view yourself

That's the nicest thing my grandfather ever called me.......nope,not being called ugly but he was abusive.

Yes and yes

Yes. I had a great aunt on my mother's side who'd say awful things about me and my siblings. My grandparents and my mother's siblings were kind, but this great aunt and her branch of the family rarely came around. When they did, they were as cruel as they dared. Even after that woman's death, I was guarded when any of her children were around. I've lost track of them and feel none the worse for it.
