The first step is to admit that you were abused. But do not accept it was your fault or you deserved the abuse.

Those are lies the abuser wanted you to believe. Second, find family or friends to talk to. Make sure they are people you can trust. Best to have someone who was previously abused, but not necessary. Me, I cried plenty of tears for nearly three months, just getting over the abuse. It has been nearly one year since I have been out and you would never guess I am the same person I was one year ago!!!! You need to re-establish your self confidence and self esteem. Talk, talk, talk. I really got through with the love of Jesus with me always.

There is no 12-steps program for codependence. Decoupling from the abuser is difficult to achieve if you are a codependent - and doubly difficult without professional help.

Is it a sign of an abusive man if you are just getting to know one another and he's already saying you're amazing and wants to talk for hours on the phone every night even though you met a week ago?

Abusive? No. Possibly desparate for a relationship and maybe a little obsessive, but unless he puts you down or you see him treat others like crap, he doesn't sound abusive.


Is it normal for someone who has been abused to be obsessively reading books on abusive men or looking at abuse websites trying to find that one thing that will put the abuser in his place?

It might be necessary to get the person in for therapy. If nothing else, the therapist might be able to get the abused person to leave the abusive relationship and be a little less obsessive.


In any relationship don't both parties commit little acts or sometimes speak words that one or both consider abusive?

Yes, but not intentionally. Some of us really don't know that we already hurt a certain person because of verbal abuse. This is very common. The safest thing we should do is to apologize every time we commit that mistake. True abuse, whether emotional, physical or both, is not composed of "little acts." It is an ongoing pattern of severe maltreatment that is emotionally and/or physically damaging to the victim.


Can a marriage be saved if one spouse is emotionally dead?

That all depends on your point of view. If you feel a marriage is a loving relationship where two people share their lives, make love, have fun, have intimate romantic dinners and things like this, then the answer is no. If marriage to you is more like a business relationship where you see each other occaisionally, speak very little, share expenses and have little or no romantic involvement; then of course an emotionally dead marriage should work fine. It just depends on how your willing to live the rest of your life.


Can you report abuse coming from your little brother?

If your little brother is abusing you then you should speak with either your mother; father or both of them as it is their responsibility to control your brother. This is far better than report your little brother to the police because what you consider abusive is not abusive to them, but simply sibling rivalry.

How do you get out of a verbally abusive relationship when the abuser is a cop?

Well if you're afraid no one will believe you get a little camera hide it somewhere and if he starts beating you up you will have proof. Then take it to the cops and he will go to jail and you move somewhere far away and start a new life. Verbal abuse can be as harmful as physical abuse and should not be tolerated by anyone, especially someone who represents law enforcement. But you know that already. The question is, would you stay with him if he weren't abusive? If you love him and want the relationship to get better, perhaps you could think about couples counseling.

Your son has an emotionally abusive girlfriend He has severed all ties with all of his friends He has very little contact with us What should you do?

Tell him he needs to drop his girlfriend. If she requires that much attention and not let him hang out with his friends, then he doesn't really need her. Friends are more important than girlfriends. Girlfriends come and go, real friends remain for a lifetime.
