Yes actually having worked in this area I can tell you many people deal with verbal and emotional abuse. Personally I think its more devastating and more difficult to move past than any other form. Often not individuals stay in relationships where this abuse continues to occur. It's the ones who he physical that give them the incentive to leave. If you want more information on the subject or need someone confidential to talk to try contacting the sight below. They can put you in touch with services in your area. Most larger communities have domestic violence programs that offers phone services as well as free counseling.

I have actually been guilty of verbal abuse in the past. Over 13 years ago. I have and I will never lay a hand on her to harm her in any way. I have taken verbal abuse from her in the past also along with kicking, punching and even spitting on me. We talked about it and stopped the abuse cold turkey. We did end up getting a divorce several months later but got back together a year after that. So far so good.

Absolutely.
Verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse. What makes it worse is that bruises go away after a couple of weeks but damaging, hurtful, abusive comments can get into your head and stay there.
An abuser would probably think that they are not doing anything wrong because they are not hitting you anymore, but the courts would say differently.
Take care of yourself.

You bet there can be. Verbal abuse can have a horrible effect on the psyche. If a person only receives negative feedback from others, he/she will begin to believe that what is said is true, even if it is not.
