It is definitely unfriendly behavior and marriage is largely about friendship!

Is a spouse keeping a log or journal of an occasional disagreement without Abuse threats or violence Abusive Some literature on Abuse imply this activity as Abusive?
* No, keeping a log or journal of an occasional disagreement on a spouse is not abuse, but it is strange behavior. Your partner may feel that you are abusive and is reading material and keeping the log or journal to prove to themselves and perhaps you that indeed you are verbally abusive (even if you are not.) It would be wise to communicate well with your spouse and get to the bottom of this problem. All the reading on verbal abuse and logs or journal entries will not fix anything that is wrong in the marriage. The only other possible reason for this behavior is if your spouse is a psychologist; psychiatrist or taking a psych course.

If a spouse forbids his/her spouse from having contact with anyone, it is most likely because he/she is insecure. "Forbidding" is controlling behavior, and borderline abusive. If you are in this marriage, you should seek help. If you are a friend/relative of the controlled party, you should encourage him/her to get counselling.

No provocation justifies abusive conduct. The pattern you describe is known as "Projective Identification". Someone who has been treated as a victim in early childhood, may try to provoke the same behavior in his partner, mate, colleagues, friends, or spouse. This is the victim's way of "feeling at home".

Be brutally frank with her and give her information on abuse. Give her the phone number and address of a shelter for abused women in her area. Support her and encourage her efforts at educating herself, getting a job, doing things without her spouse around. If she refuses to leave her abusive spouse there is little you can do, but if you are ever in the prescence of a violent episode be firm and call the police on this person yourself.
How do it live with an abusive stepdaughter?
Hi, I have an abusive stepdaughter. She's 27 now and lives three time zones away, on the other side of the continent. Yeah! While she was a child/teen, she was very abusive to me--lying, stealing, manipulating, assaulting...not letting me sleep, not respecting any normal boundaries, treating me like a servant, etc., etc. So: how to deal with such a creature. 1. Don't suck up or try to win her over. You've already done this, right? It hasn't worked, has it? 2. Give consequences for behavior and no second chances. You aren't the bio parent, so maybe you can't discipline this girl the way you'd like to. But you can say, "I don't feel like watching this tv show with you right now, because your behavior just now was pretty abusive." 3. Model responsible behavior. Apologize when you're wrong, treat others well. 4. Don't let this girl come between you and your spouse. Okay, she already has, right? And she plays your spouse, right? You need to set some limits about this. 5. Your spouse isn't "between" darling daughter and you. Your spouse has a clear duty toward darling daughter: discipline her. This duty exists irrespective of your existence. Daughter's behavior is a problem of her no-doubt spoiled personality--again, a problem irrespective of your existence. 6. Don't ever act as if you're to blame. 7. Create or enhance your support system. 8. When the stepdaughter's around, spend some of that time with YOUR friends or family. If you're isolated right now, go out and do something with a club or church. Just get out and be with people who treat you right. 9. Spend quality time with your spouse away from the stepdaughter. 10. Make sure your spouse spends time alone with the stepdaughter. This is an easy one! 11. Take really, really good care of yourself. Eat well, get enough sleep, dress nicely, groom yourself, exercise daily. 12. Try to have a good time with the stepdaughter, just you and her together. If she's abusive, however, disengage.
