okay, I know this has nothing to do with babies, but, what do you ladies think "verbal abuse", and "mental abuse" is? I know everyone's definition of it might be differnt, just want to see what everyone thinks.
Talking down , screaming, name calling, teasing, manipulation , mind games, cursing at you , putting you down , list goes on .... If your in that get out its just as bad as him hitting you and that always comes next @dixie1994
I think they can go hand in hand. verbal abuse is in my mind saying rude things to someone which if its verbal abuse about a person's character or appearance or something that tries to break down someone's confidence that turns into mental abuse. Mental abuse in my opinion is mind games. Grooming you for mental control, because that's what an abusive person needs is control. I was ripped away from my family before I even realized what had been happening because of his mind games so I was basically alone for the abuse to continue, which is exactly what they feed off of.
Oh no, I'm not going through it. I have a friend who is, and she doesn't see it that way, and I wanted to get others opinions on it.
