I believe that the other options to this questions (other than emotional) are:
neglect
self-neglect
not an abuse

And yes, the correct answer is: emotional.

it is not a form of neglect, since neglect is the lack of care, which in this case is clearly not the case - the daughter is clearly taking care of her mother, but doing this frustrates her. The abuse is present - the daughter is lashing out on her mother, and this is an emotional abuse.
