Emotional Support

This article is a reversal of the "emotional abuse" article on Wikipedia. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_abuse Also credit http://www.bpdcentral.com/resources/abuse/evabuse.shtml for parts of that article put in the Wikipedia entry.

A "reversal" is a deliberate and conscious re-writing of a piece of work with the idea of turning the concept of its head. Heavy use of antonyms is one of the techniques employed. Much as "rapturist" is the opposite of "terrorist," this article is intended to reverse "emotional abuse" and create from it "emotional support."
