Taking a break from an emotionally abusive parent can help alleviate stress hormones and reduce the risk of autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, and other health problems. A temporary separation of a couple of weeks can allow individuals to experience life outside their abuser's influence, leading to improved mental and physical well-being. During this time, it's recommended to avoid telling the abuser about the break, instead using an excuse to maintain secrecy. After the initial break, creating a list of the abuser's transgressions and the lasting effects on adult life can help individuals prepare for potential future separation.
