PTSD From Emotional Abuse?

I know that war veterans and people who have been physically and sexually abused can develop PTSD, but what about those who were emotionally abused? In my case, physical abuse only took place on less than ten occasions and it was never life-threatening, but the criticism and manipulation and years of walking on eggshells and thinking the entire thing was my fault makes me wonder. I have nightmares about it, but still, I can stand to talk about it. It doesn't bother me much any longer, only when I heavily dwell on what happened to me. What would acute PTSD consist of?
