The only thing i would consider abusive was in one of the episodes. At the hospital Regina grabbed Henry very hard and sort of yanked him. I would consider that abusive unless the child is doing something like running into the streets and you are trying to stop them then grabbing them like that by the wrist and yanking them can be scary. It is like the threat of violence.
I actually wasn’t talking about that though. I was talking about Regina getting Emma to say stuff when she knows that Henry will be listening so that it would upset him and cause a split between the two of them. I do agree that i think it makes sense in a normal reason for her to be worried about Henry hanging out with Emma. If it was me i would want to get to know the woman before i would let her hang out with my kid, but that really isn’t the issue with Regina. It is more that she sees Henry as leverage then that she is worried about him being with Emma. I don’t know. It is a complicated issue.
