Well, you'd be wrong there.
You're right that verbal and emotional abuse goes beyond yelling and name calling during arguments.
You're wrong that an argument cannot have life-long effects. You're very wrong that if you exhibit symptoms of post-traumatic stress, you deserve a better deal in divorce.
And, I disagree that anyone on this thread looks foolish, though you seem a little holier-than-thou.
What you seem to support is rewarding claims of emotional abuse, based on whether one person shows PTS. However, the majority of abusive relationships are shown to be mutual upon investigation.
The person who points the finger first, or starts showing PTS, particularly after the divorce proceedings start, doesn't necessarily deserve a reward. Though, there is a significant industry/culture of victimization set up to do so. I suspect you've taken advantage of it.
What we should be striving for is a system that spots/prevents actual abuse without handing out teflon suits/get-out-of-jail-free cards to those that CLAIM abuse. Abuse sucks. False or exaggerated claims of abuse to affect divorce settlements suck. Your approach creates the latter, which is a significant problem.
