VERBAL ABUSE

WHEN WORDS DESTROY

“Verbal abuse, as with other kinds of abuse, most often occurs in secret. This means there may not be anyone who has seen what has happened to you. You may think you have taken everything wrong, as you have probably been told, or you may truly believe there is something wrong with you. Recognizing verbal abuse for what it is, the attempt to gain power and control over you and the relationship, is emotionally painful but will allow you to recognize, understand, and validate your own views and experiences.”
