Neglect takes many forms.
A father who works all the time and does not make nay effort to emotionally connect with his children is just as abusive as a father who physically assaults his children.
hmmm... citing this as abusive is taking quite a 'liberal' position -your implied yet unproven intent and victimhood are only morally relative argumentive points that attempt two equate two entirely differing actions...

There's a difference between neglect and abuse.
