Was Emily abused?

No, what you mention were facts, but anything to do with abuse.

Charlie just acted like a friend, according Emily..In the movie there is anything that indicates she was abused.
Emily wearing adult clothes was just to bother David with his date,of the same way David bothered Emily when he acted like " Charlie", it was like a revenge.

The broken butterfly was just something to scare Emily.And about the dolls,they probaly fell down from Emily's hand,because she was scared seeing how her dad acted like other person..

**Spoiler**

Perhaps not physically abused, emotional and mental abuse was certainly a result of interactions with her dad. Dealing with a person who has a split personality in isolation would erode anyone’s psyche very quickly, especially as a child. The confusion and stress, plus the lying imposed on her for it.

Add in post-traumatic stress disorder that would naturally occur from her mother’s death, even worse that it was considered a suicide. Emily was screwed from the beginning with little chance of surviving. Everything led to a break.

This story is frightening for the subtle portrayal of Emily’s descent.

Emily’s mother potentially had many issues as well, for one cheating on her husband possibly a (subconscious or known) reaction to his long term pattern behavior. David was likely troubled even before the split personality occurred. I suspect that traits like domineering, control freak, obsessive, passive-aggressive, erratic behavior and moodiness were all possible for him.

Leading to my last point that mental illness can be hereditary. With Emily’s struggle beginning at birth.

Kids do play dress up in grown ups' clothing, and it doesn't mean they're being raped. Wearing her mother's jewelry and lipstick was Emily's way of keeping her mother's memory alive (and as was mentioned above, annoying her father when Elizabeth was around).

1 . Simple ? Far from it . It was a well thought-out psychological thriller based entirely in real human psychology , no demons , no cheating death , no excessive gore , just flawed , emotionally and mentally scarred human beings , something all too rare in horror films these days .
2 . The " Charlie " persona was basically that of a murderous child and was born of David finding out his wife was cheating on him . With those two details in mind as well as the none-too-subtle implication David himself may have been molested as a child which may have also contributed to his severe psychological issues as an adult , I find it highly unlikely " Charlie " would sink that low ! Murder is one thing but molestation ?
3 . Schizoprenia is , like , hallucinations and hearing voices , you twit ! What David has is Dissassociative Identity Disorder ( formerly Multiple Personality Disorder and still better known by that name in some states ) !
