That's abuse, both psychological and physical. The emotional pain involved with being hit with a feather or with a brick is the same.
I don't think so... being hit with a feather is more likely to instill laughter and confusion than it is emotional hurt. Also... as with physical pain, the larger/heavier/more obviously dangerous object will instill more emotional pain (If say, the individual recognizes that the other person is willing to hit them with an obviously dangerous object). And let's not forget the terror of being hit with a brick (as apposed to a feather) that the victim anticipates.
Enter from here, a state of hopelessness and fear.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
