Quote: But he is NOT at all abusive to me because of that.Some people consider it to be child abuse. In some nations, 'extreme religious indoctrinations' (e.g. deliberately scaring the wits out of your children with threats of hell, satan, demons etc.) will be treated as abuses under the law and can be a contributing factor to parents losing the right to raise their children.
