Abusive relationships make women feel insecure, alone, afraid, and devalued. They can also make a woman feel hopeless, helpless and sad. Other feelings can be angry, outraged and suicidal. Abused woman should seek help for the abuse they have suffered.
Generally a verbally abusive woman has control issues and she will carry them into most relationships. However, there are a few women that are verbally abusive to one or more men, but may meet a man that she is not verbally abusive to as they are better suited for each other.
You can find some statistics. There are no true stats on this because many women never report abuse. They are extremely fearful in most cases and the laws have taken a long while to protect women from abuse. If you or anyone you know is in an abusive relationship, head for the closest "Abused Women's Center" in your area, and if you can't find it in your phone book, then phone "Mental Health" and they will put you into the right direction.

Usually women do this because it is all they know. Many women will pick partners that are abusive because they've had abusive fathers, etc.

If a man is abusing his girlfriend and or wife, then he will more than likely be abusive to all women. It is a mind frame, women to him = abuse. This is not true in all cases but in most of them.
This is a generalisation, and a highly incorrect one at that. Women can be, are just as abusive and insecure as men. Many men are not abusive and are quite secure with themselves - the opposite is in fact a minority.
