Yeah, the title is really misleading and sensational if that's what the "abuse" consisted of.

    Psychological torture consists of numerous tiny things like that. It sounds small, but they add up.

    I always assume those posters were physically abused and thus assume that psychological abuse in any form simply cannot compare. Ignoring the fact that their bruises healed fairly quickly while the psychological damage from that abuse is alive and well in their mind.

    I agree, psychological torture is no joke. My point was that the original headline really led me to expect to read a story of sexual abuse, or other physical violence. It was actually a relief to read that it wasn't, even if the sleep depravation is still awful.
