Tough love means loving your child by teaching them boundaries.

But abuse is when someone excuse punishment for boundaries.

Example: Saying no to your 12y child when they wanna go to a concert, is tough love.

Physically hurt your 12y child when they were caught drinking alcohol is punishment and abuse.
