Absolutely! The only reason why I am still with my alcoholic is because he is not verbally abusive even when I nag him... However, emotional abuse is still an issue in the end and it's about how long you are willing to deal with it. My 2 cents
Go to your Human resources personel, or your union representative. A shady way it the tape your conversations.
they should go talk to someone. they shouldn't have to deal with it
It is important to set boundaries and communicate assertively with your boyfriend about the impact of his behavior. Consider seeking couples therapy or individual counseling to address the underlying issues. If the abusive behavior continues, prioritize your safety and well-being and consider seeking support from friends, family, or a support group.

Victims of abuse are angry as hell, but often suppress it. So, I would think the counselor would treat the patient for anger and being the victim of abuse. The two go hand in hand. It's wise, if one grows up in a verbally/physical abusive household to seek out help by a professional so they can break that chain of abuse. We learn from our environment.
The issue isn't really age; it's whether the child is mentally and emotionally able to deal with it and whether it's safe to meet their biological parent(s)
If you can leave him - do it now.
His father abused him not only physically but emotionally and verbally. At a very young age Michael also had to become an adult and deal with the real world. He never got to do the things regular children did which is why he seemed so childish.
A 13yr old can not divorce a parent, but can become legally emancipated. This requires the child to have some sort of profit, so a job, and the parent usually has to be abusive. It is very hard to become legally emancipated, so it is usually worth it to suck it up and deal with them. Sorry!
By simply changing churches. Exactly! Change churches. They dont care about your well being so I would tell them to hit the road and end contact with that church.
leave or seek help, it wont fix itself
