Wife alienating friends with her anger, verbal abuse | Observer-Reporter

We forget that it is not only partners, but friends that can be verbally abused. Here is a great answer to this husbands questions about the wife alienating friends. I especially like the last sentence in Annie's advice!



Annie’s Mailbox: Wife alienating friends with her anger, verbal abuse | Observer-Reporter: " My wife has a good personality and makes friends easily. The problem is, she does not keep them. If someone rubs her wrong, she flares up in anger. If someone disagrees with her, she verbally abuses them. She also gets involved in everyone else’s personal affairs."

One of the participants in the tutorial made me cry today....

Had a woman who calls herself Memory Lane finish section one of the tutorial today. Here is part of what she wrote:


 "and the law continues to allow the behavior because the lead investigator in this town has known him for over twenty years, so drops his charges every time"


 I wanted to cry--this is one of the few times that I would have to say it is not solely in her hands...most of the time Dr. Marshall and myself can see how a person actually "trains" their partner to behave badly--and probably Memory Lane  may have in the beginning..but now others are working against her and it will be hard to get better when her partner has the authorities in his back pocket. She MUST seek professional help.

House bill bans verbal abuse on children - Manila Standard Today: "The House of Representatives has approved on third and final reading a bill promoting positive and non-violent forms of imposing discipline on children."



Finally, the most vulnerable among us are receiving advocacy and protection.  This bill condemns not only physical abuse but the all too often forgotten form of abuse: verbal.  Kudos to the House of Representatives for providing this form of protection.

It doesn’t have to be physical to be abuse.

I love the picture on this site that symbolizes verbal abuse! go take a look. Its a new campaign in Canada and they did a great job. But it is put out by a domestic Violence group--although verbal abuse, Psychological abuse and the like are horribly damaging--it is not violence--with actual physical violence the prescription and prognosis are different! Women in each category should be treated separately..ah but that is for another post. Click through and take a look at the picture:

It doesn’t have to be physical to be abuse.: "You might not notice it’s happening. You may just think it’s normal. It’s not. Verbal and other non-physical abuse can take a serious toll on your psychological and emotional health. "

Men, women face equal verbal abuse at workplace

Although men are less likely to be the target of verbal abuse in a relationship, it appears they are equally targeted in the workplace. This is NOT the equality we are looking for!!!



Read about it here:

After a rigorous selection process, 29 of the 90 identified studies were considered, most of which (24) were carried out in the health sector."

The power of words: Addressing verbal abuse in promoting safe spaces for women

This article helps us realize that verbal abuse can and does occur everywhere from America to Zimbabwe and that although the cultures are very different, the styles of the verbal abusers and the psychological effects of the abused are universal.  The tactics that the abusers use to break down the abused parallel each other worldwide:  they will stress their partners inadequacy and ineptitude, wreaking havoc on the abused sense of self-worth and self-confidence.  And all this typically goes on behind closed doors.

The power of words: Addressing verbal abuse in promoting safe spaces for women:

"I have observed that most women feign mental and emotional stability in public spheres whilst they are suffering from within. They try hard to paint a sunny picture of their lives and hide beautifully the dark clouds of the reality transpiring in their lives."
