If you are a minor then you can go to Child Aid and report the abuse. They will investigate in a discreet manner and not give out your name. If you are not a minor and still live with your step parent then consider moving out. If you do not live at home, but have siblings that are putting up with verbal abuse then report it to Child Aid. Be sure you understand what verbal abuse is:
Verbal Abuse:
Constantly yelling; screaming or threatening any children in the home.
Constantly telling them they are useless; they will never amount to anything.
Playing head games such as being nasty enough to put doubts into the victim of verbal abuse. 'You are fat'; 'You're ugly and who would want to date you?'
Non Verbal Abuse:
- If a minor is not sticking to the rules of the house and being disrespect this is not verbal abuse.
- If the step parent demands the minor does their homework.
- If the step parent has a curfew for the minor such as being home at a certain time.
- If the step parent does not like the group of friends the minor is seeing.
- Not allowing smoking of any type in the home or the step parent does not allow the minor to drink in the home.
These are but a few. Parents are just human and can lose it on occasion when they become frustrated with the minor and often minors go through a stage where they are trying to flap their wings of independence because they are at the edge of being part child to part man/woman, but not quite there as an adult. This is generally when parents or step parents clash. The upside is that eventually parents accept their children as adults when their children have earned that right. Most parents or even step parents want to protect children no matter if they are their own or not because in reality that is all minors have for a safety net ... adults to protect them. Growing up with rules is teaching minors that this is the reality of the world fair or not. Constant verbal and degrading abuse is unacceptable.

Should you leave your alcoholic mate he only gets verbally abusive if you nag him?
Absolutely! The only reason why I am still with my alcoholic is because he is not verbally abusive even when I nag him... However, emotional abuse is still an issue in the end and it's about how long you are willing to deal with it. My 2 cents
You are 16 and you want to be emancipated in Missouri your father will take this to court. he used to be physically abusive and is still verbally abusive What are the chances of you losing in court?
Missouri does not have emancipation of minors statues so there can be no court procedure concerning such. If there is abuse you should enlist the help of a trusted adult such as a teacher or contact the state's child protective services for assistance.

How do you deal with a verbally abusive boyfriend without breaking up with him?
It is important to set boundaries and communicate assertively with your boyfriend about the impact of his behavior. Consider seeking couples therapy or individual counseling to address the underlying issues. If the abusive behavior continues, prioritize your safety and well-being and consider seeking support from friends, family, or a support group.
Should a woman stay in a verbally abusive relationship?
Nope. Because she she might get hurt even more. And the abuser might think it is ok to hurt them because they won't mind. Once they hit you, you should get out of that relationship.
How can you make someone understand that just because she thinks she knows how to handle her husband's verbally abusive comments doesn't mean that she is not in a verbally abusive relationship?
Until she is willing to realize that she is verbally abused, there is nothing you can do. She may well have most of it under control, and, there is the possibility that her mate may not be well. Sometimes medications or certain diseases such as stroke, diabetes, depression, etc., can cause people to appear abusive. You're a good person to worry about her, but don't fight her, try to learn from her and where SHE is coming from. Let her know you are there for her. You'll gain more from her this way, then by telling her how she should act on this problem. Good luck Marcy
Should you break up with your boyfriend if he makes you feel guilty all the time?
Yes, you should leave the relationship. That is because he is somehow making you change your view of what you do with good intentions to be something wrong. Eventually, you won't be able to do anything right, and you will not feel good about yourself. He cannot be right all the time! Actually, this is verbally abusive behavior and you are caught in a vicious cycle. Read Patricia Evan's book, "The Verbally Abusive Relationship" for further insight.
