Should you contact somebody about a verbally abusive step parent?
If you are a minor then you can go to Child Aid and report the abuse. They will investigate in a discreet manner and not give out your name. If you are not a minor and still live with your step parent then consider moving out. If you do not live at home, but have siblings that are putting up with verbal abuse then report it to Child Aid. Be sure you understand what verbal abuse is:Verbal Abuse:Constantly yelling; screaming or threatening any children in the home.Constantly telling them they are useless; they will never amount to anything.Playing head games such as being nasty enough to put doubts into the victim of verbal abuse. 'You are fat'; 'You're ugly and who would want to date you?'Non Verbal Abuse:If a minor is not sticking to the rules of the house and being disrespect this is not verbal abuse.If the step parent demands the minor does their homework.If the step parent has a curfew for the minor such as being home at a certain time.If the step parent does not like the group of friends the minor is seeing.Not allowing smoking of any type in the home or the step parent does not allow the minor to drink in the home.These are but a few. Parents are just human and can lose it on occasion when they become frustrated with the minor and often minors go through a stage where they are trying to flap their wings of independence because they are at the edge of being part child to part man/woman, but not quite there as an adult. This is generally when parents or step parents clash. The upside is that eventually parents accept their children as adults when their children have earned that right. Most parents or even step parents want to protect children no matter if they are their own or not because in reality that is all minors have for a safety net ... adults to protect them. Growing up with rules is teaching minors that this is the reality of the world fair or not. Constant verbal and degrading abuse is unacceptable.

When might verbal abuse happen?
From research it appears there is no date as to when verbal abuse became an issue. There are many research papers done on physical abuse and most likely from hearing enough stories from physically abused victims some doctor put two and two together. Verbal abuse is just as harmful as physical abuse and worse, because verbal abuse scars the mind and soul and there are no laws in the U.S. to protect a victim from verbal abuse, (you can't go to the police and complain you are being verbally abused), but there are for victims of physical abuse that are left with broken bones, missing teeth, black eyes and bruises (often taken into evidence.) One should remember that in every relationship there is arguing, some name calling, but when it becomes a constant attack on one of the partners that's when it becomes verbal abuse. Here are signs of a verbal abuser: * Yelling * Intimidating * Name-calling * Accusing * Humiliating * Belittling * Using sarcasm * Putting you down * Rejecting your opinion * Threatening * Ridiculing * Criticizing * Insulting * Blaming * Mocking * Treating you with scorn * Disparaging your ideas * Trivializing your desires
