Best Answer

We can't answer that question specifically. We do not know the adolescent, nor any of the conditions surrounding the situation. We suggest that you speak with a family services counselor and explore the possibility of getting him into treatment.

Apart from that, when you can legally remove him or her from the household, you should do so. Allowing them to live at home and abuse you only encourages their behavior.

Finally, we suggest some Al-Anon or NarAnon meetings. You can find links to meeting schedules below this answer. They are support groups for people with addicted family members, and their information could be very helpful.

How can one stop a narcissistic father from verbally abusing his four year old son?

That wouldn't be easy. If he is really an abuser (rather than someone who just loses his temper sometimes) then this would be incredibly difficult. He is verbally abusive in order to establish control. Try talking to your son and see how he is; see what effect this is having on him.

What is a verbally abusive relationship Is the verbal abuse continuous' once a day once a week once a year give examples of language used etc?

A verbally abusive relationship involved repeated derogatory remarks being made in order to scare, humiliate or degrade the other person. This is not a one-time argument. True abuse always arises in a pattern. Examples would be:* "Your always eating loads of food, you fat b***h" (degrading)* "You tell anyone and I'll make sure you wont be able to say anything again" (fear)
