Abuse is a means in which one party asserts dominance over another. For whatever reason a person is driven to abuse they will typically continue to abuse their partners to fulfill their desire to dominate them after they have begun. Abuse is not single action but a pattern that persists unless action is taken.
Yes, suicide threats can be a form of abuse if they are used to manipulate others. The person is threatening to hurt themselves or others so that you will stay in the relationship that is not only emotional abuse, it is mental abuse as well.
Confront? That is emotional abuse. Leave, or get counseling. No one deserves to live with that kind of abuse/pressure. Answer I agree with the above. That is absolutely emotional abuse and no way to live. Get away from that person. When you try and confront a person like that who is very controlling it doesn't do any good. It can only make matters worse. You can tell them (confront) them with the way you feel about how you are treated...then leave and stay away from that person. Life is too short to put up with a controlling, emotional abuser. There are too many others out there who will treat you good to stay with someone who doesn't.
Emotional abuse can be upsetting, but it's no crime. At 18, you have the right to move out, or you can stay there (if he permits) on his terms. (I'm assuming the house is in his name.)
Find a place to stay... a shelter if necessary, and go see a divorce attorney. You probably have a great case. Sounds like severe emotional abuse.
* I think its very common. If you look at how many women stay in those relationships, and keep taking it and taking it they have a vulnerability for drug and alcohol use and abuse because they find reasons not to leave and it drives them crazy.
Power and control tactics are the main focus in most every abusive relationship...if someone is manipulating their partner to the point where there partner is not happy then yes controlling someone is a form of abuse...
they stay with men who abuse them mostly because they are afraid if they tell that they will pay the price for it. And they they might stay with men who don't work because they love them A LOT. What other reason would you stay with a non working man?
A lot of abuse victims were abused as children, so they think of it as being "normal." Another reason is that a lot of abusers are extremely manipulative. They may only start with verbal abuse, often becoming extremely apologetic afterward. They may not be frequent abusers (they'll be abusive one day, and then months go by before it happens again). Usually by the time the level and frequency of abuse increases, the abused has already been emotionally manipulated to where they feel it's their fault that they're being abused, or that they deserve the abuse. What an abuser will frequently do is isolate their victim from other people in the victim's life. By the time the victim realizes they need help, they feel they have no one to turn to. Another big reason is that, at least when it comes to emotional abuse, it can be hard to prove that you're being abused. Yet another reason is that the victim will feel extremely ashamed and not want anyone to know that they're being abused. Also another reason is that the victim may feel that if they DO try to leave their abuser, their abuser will manage to hunt them down and potentially kill them.
money is the root of all evil.it causes some of them lives but some stay by their side because many of them has shown experimentaly that abuse is part of ther lives they are addicted to it.thak you the state commander.in short my words are over.
Verbal abuse could lead to physical abuse or even to fatality! If you are in a marriage that has no love - get out!
Drug use is life abuse!
