Get into batterer counseling (even if its verbal/ emotional abuse) ASAP (NO Anger Management - that does NOTHING for abusers)
Take them to a instituion or take them to a shrink
Not to scream it, but definitely let them know
The best thing that family can do for a substance abuser is stage an intervention. Once that intervention has been staged, present the abuser with the opportunity to go to rehab.
The first - crucial - steps are to acknowledge that he is abuser and seek help. Abusers are usually in denial: If the abuser is also a narcissist (suffers from the Narcissistic Personality Disorder - NPD), this may be of some assistance:
If you are fearful of speaking out about your abuse, find legal ways to keep the abuser from harming you.On the very contrary. Sharing what you went through can help you achieve closure. Secrecy is the abuser's weapon!No. Exposure is protection.
In most cases your abuser considers you a "loss" and will move on to finding someone else he can abuse. Consider yourself lucky and never think twice about this guy. There are great programs for Abused Women, and I suggest, if you have just left an abuser or you know someone that has, to seek out this help. They help you gain your self esteem and confidence, they counsel you, help you find work if you don't have one, and will also help with legal counsel if need be. If you have children they will help in this area as well.
high strung, bad temper, high anxiety and likes to break things and/or punch things when mad.
Abusers are bad. Period. It is common for someone who has been abused to feel lonely when the abuser becomes absent, but it is because of the stress of change. If you feel yourself running back to your abuser, get help. The situation will only escalate otherwise.
You should not wish revenge against an abuser, this will only make your abuser furious and cause them to harm you more than they already have. To stop an abuser you need to talk to the authorities and if you are a teenager or younger person that is being abuse you need to talk to a trusted adult for help.
You need to call the police and give them all the information you can, perhaps notify an adult family member of the abuser if appropriate, and then accept that there is nothing else you can do. The abuser needs professional help- he is not your responsibility. His attempts may not be real and he may be just trying to manipulate you.
If someone is verbally abusive to their family than the family can seek counciling for theirself and the abuser. Other alturnitive is to kick the abuser out of the house. If they are under 18 than the parents could talk to the school councelor about their behavior at school and they may recommend help.
