When Love Hurts: Navigating Emotional Abuse in the Family

It’s heartbreaking to witness my wife’s emotionally abusive behavior toward our daughter. The constant criticism, dismissive remarks, and lack of empathy have left deep marks on our child’s self-esteem. As a father, I feel torn between wanting to protect my daughter and not wanting to escalate conflict at home. I often find myself questioning how to intervene in a way that truly helps, rather than just adding more tension. My hope is to find a path that brings healing for both my daughter and our family as a whole. Has anyone else faced something similar? How did you cope or support your child through it?
