I suppose so, but you'd have to include a context that shows what you mean by this term. Clive

The situation itself is not "emotional burden". A burden is something that is put upon another. Therefore the woman may feel emotionally burdened or pressured into withdrawing her allegations. Equally, she may not feel that at all.

A burden is something one carries--whether it was put upon you or you took it on.
