sometimes a verbal abuser can be consider a sociopath they get involve and like the dirty talk and begin to make them feel and enjoy group talk that is abusive.
Get rid of them and get counseling.
Verbal abuse wears many forms. Isolating you from your friends is a form of control freakery. If this is an isolated event, you may overlook it, forgive, and forget. But if this is a repetitive behavior - he is an abuser.
You try to discuss the issue calmly and set new ground rules, so to speak. But if this fails, especially over and over, it may mean that you are involved with an abuser, and usually they don't change.
No I dont think so, but if he verbally abuses you then maybe its time fo you to get out of the relationship.
Yes, that's a reasonable speculation.
Get into batterer counseling (even if its verbal/ emotional abuse) ASAP (NO Anger Management - that does NOTHING for abusers)
Yes. But it is also common for the abuser to be all of those things. Abusive realtions are common, physical and verbal, romantic and non.
Answer I've never heard of anyone being sued for verbal abuse. If it was physical abuse, I could see you taking that person to court, but for verbal abuse, throwing that person out of your house is about the only thing you can do, legally.
No, you are not an alcoholic if you get drunk once a year and you are not an abuser if you call someone a name once every five years.
If someone is verbally abusive to their family than the family can seek counciling for theirself and the abuser. Other alturnitive is to kick the abuser out of the house. If they are under 18 than the parents could talk to the school councelor about their behavior at school and they may recommend help.
