No - it's not rare at all. They get depressed, withdrawn, and consider leaving just like a woman.
Mental & emotional
You can't be HURTFUL and not abuse. Abuse can be verbal, emotional & mental. Talk to someone about it. Perhaps a school counselor or priest.
Abuse.
In the Philippines, verbal abuse may be considered a form of psychological violence under the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act. This law penalizes acts that cause mental or emotional suffering to women and children. Perpetrators of verbal abuse can face imprisonment and fines if found guilty.
I would believe that this answer is based off of a personal opinion. However, I would say that the second worst form of child abuse besides physical would be mental. Mental can cover anywhere to physical, verbal and emotional abuse.
verbal physical and emotional
Verbal abuse falls under the category of emotional or psychological abuse. It includes using words to criticize, degrade, intimidate, or manipulate another person, causing harm to their emotional well-being.
Verbal tort refers to a type of tort where harm is caused through spoken words. This can include defamation, slander, or other forms of harmful communication that result in damage to a person's reputation or emotional well-being.
Verbal and mental abuse are kind of a cause and affect. When somebody verbally abuses you so badly it eventually, over time, turns into a mental abuse which means you start believing what the abuser says, and less of what you feel and think.
physical, mental, verbal, and sexual
It is a contest of personal power-of wit, self-control, verbal ability, mental agility and mental toughness
Not on a general basis, but if one partner wants to get a divorce from the other they can use 'emotional abuse' as a way to get that divorce. If one is emotionally abused, it is just as bad as being physically abused (you just can't see the scars) and the victim should leave their abuser.
