A couple of questions to all the WAS

If a parent don't give their child lunch for one day is that abuse?

If a parent doesn't feed thier child at all is that neglect?

Also what you put in bold is what Dictonary.com states as ABUSE not neglect

Call me ignorant, but I still can't seem to make the connection

please explain to me how you connect the two

As you wish, if that parent does not feed there child one time, it is neglect, when it is repeated time and time it then is concidered abusive. You can quote all the damn dictive meanings you want here, we are not speaking in terms of black and white. We are talking about poeples feelings and when someone feels neglected enough by not getting their own specific needs from their relationship with someone, they then would become to feel abused as a result of that constant neglect.

Clearly your point here is create a pissing for distance contest with someone, sorry, I get enough of that from my XW. Thus I've made my point.
