Thanks for the link Starblze.
I found it overall an interesting and well written article primarily because the article was not saying that the 15 points referred to are indicative of an abusive childhood.
The article ends with "As you can see, there are several signs that may indicate you had an emotionally abusive parent".
Repeated phrases such as "may be because of", "can be due to" and in relation to point 15 'being in a toxic relationship' "if we come ...." and "we tend too ....".
Having said the aforementioned, I can understand your reaction Wibby, that it "can cause more harm than good! it can cause a rift between parent and child". That said, as long as it's read with all the information taken on board, that these behaviours may be an indication that someone had an emotionally abusive parent, hopefully that wont be the case.
The rift is there with or without articles like this I'm afraid, just explains why the rift exists I would say this article explains why the rift might exist.
