* It is not uncommon for some men to become abusive in their 80's. There are many reasons for this: Medications; aging in general or Dementia (a sister to Alzheimer's.) Try getting this man into your family doctor for a complete physical and ask to have him tested for Dementia. If he will not listen to you have another member try to get him to the doctor. As some elderly age they can become frustrated from pain; perhaps medications or other diseases they may have (suffering from a stroke or heart attack; Diabetes, etc.) If the elderly person cannot be controlled and it's difficult for the caregiver of the family then a Nursing Home may have to be considered.

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)

How can you deal with a 15-year-old that you are scared will end up like his verbally abusive father?

Hopefully the father isn't involved any longer (or at least not all the time) and you are separated and have custody or partial custody of your son. It's important that your son be taken to a child psychiatrist for help in this area. There are programs for the inner anger that your son must feel, and by nipping it in the bud now, your son should have a loving and good future. Not all children from abusive families end up abusive themselves, but they most definitely can have psychological problems from it. Good luck Marcy Therapy is a great way to get through to the 15 year old. Attend with him and allow him alone time with the therapist.
