It's difficult to answer this question because apparently if a couple get into a disagreement and may call each other names in the heat of anger they are considered a verbal abuser. Not true! All couples have their good and bad times. If the verbal abuse is constant and they are trying to tear the person down and strip them of their dignity and independence THAT is emotional abuse. The rates are high (as is physical abuse) because there is more of a population and also more stress on people today. Be it verbal/physical abuse it strikes the rich/poor, and any race.

The only difference between physical and emotional abuse is that the physical abuse can usually be seen and the emotional abuse is scarring your mind.

Either way, they are both abusive behaviors and have painful repercussions to the individual being abused.

How can you help spread awareness about emotional abuse?
You can actually start a small group from your home. You can volunteer at an Abused Women's Center (like I did.) You can write a book if you feel talented in that way and have experience emotional abuse. So many women are in abusive relationships and so fearful and controlled they don't know what they can do about their situation or where to go and that laws are being changed radically to protect women and children from abuse. Books are always a good way to get a message out. If you aren't into that I highly recommend volunteering at an Abusive Women's Center. Good luck Marcy
