What should you do about a friend who is being mentally and verbally abused?

Answer 1

Why would you call someone who is "emotionally and verbally abusive" - your "friend"? Abusers cannot be friends because they lack empathy and the ability to truly love someone else or relate to others!

Answer 2

Try looking for local organizatoins that may be able to offer your friend help. Always be there for your friend and stress that fact that help is available if he/she wants it. You need to get all the facts for your friend so that you can educate them on the resources that are available since they aren't likely to seek help on their own. Best of luck to you and your friend. By the way, you or your friend can dial 211 from any phone in the United States and speak to a live operator that may be able to help. 211 is the National Help Hotline.

Answer 3

Im asking myself the same question good luck. The best thing to do is get out of it as soon as possible! Its not safe to keep your self in that enviroment! My mom dealt with a verbally abusive husband, and i hated it when he yelled at her, it made me mad. Till this day, i wish i never saw what i saw. If you feel turned on by him, and you think you dont deserve anyone else, you are wrong! Dont let yourself believe whatever is negative about yourself! Think: If you end up with this person, do you want your child to see him yell at you or maybe hit you? If so, then do what you want. If not, dont put yourself in that position. Keep you and your child safe! I am very thankful that my mom got herself and i out of that house when she did. Verbal abuse eventually turns into physical abuse! So you ask, how do u deal with a verbally abusive boyfriend? DONT DEAL WITH IT! GET OUT ASAP!

Anwer2. Verbal, emotional and physical abuse are forms of VIOLENCE. The Bible makes this point at Ephesians 4:31: Put away from yourselves every kind of malicious bitterness, anger, wrath, screaming, and abusive speech as well as everything injurious." Jehovah God does not approve of abusive speech or conduct and that victims should not accept such behavior as normal or as something that is their fault. People that belittle others just try to elevate themselves because of their own insecurities. Being a victim of verbal or physical abuse can be devastating. Do not continue to suffer in silence, hoping things will change. THEY DO NOT!!!A man who speaks abusively to or mistreats the woman he is dating shows himself unfit to Get help, talk to somebody immediately, but PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET RID OF HIM. One day you will find someone that truly loves and cherishes you for the beautiful woman you are inside and out. (see Young People Ask article "How Can I Stop My Boyfriend From Mistreating Me on Jehovah's Witnesses official website.)
