not very likely A person who has been an abuser for twenty-five years is probably not ever going to change on their own. With the help of a professional it could be possible if that person wants to change but I would not count on it happening on his own. Abuse is a behavior just like any other and when it becomes a habit as it seems to be here it takes a lot of work to break that habit. Abuse is a serious problem and if this question is coming from someone being abused the next question might be: Will you change after being abused for twenty-five years? If you have learned to live like this I would suggest counseling for you also.

Is verbal abuse good cause for emancipation?
Verbal abuse can be a serious issue and can have detrimental effects on a person's mental and emotional well-being. In some cases, it may be considered a valid reason for seeking emancipation, depending on the severity and frequency of the abuse, as well as other relevant factors. However, each situation is unique, and it is important to consult with a lawyer or a legal professional who can provide guidance based on the specific circumstances.
Why is physical abuse the only thing that can force an abuser into counseling when many people consider emotional abuse just as bad?
You can't take pictures of the effects of verbal abuse. Testimony of friends and therapists is not as strong a form of evidence since they were probably not present for the worst of the situation. Forcing any kind of abuser into counseling rarely works. It is sort of like the question, "how many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb?" and the answer is, "One, but he has to really want to." Physical abuse is much more dangerous (can leave broken bones, black eyes, split lip and bruising as evidence) and, physical abuse can also lead to murder. If a woman reports her physical abuse the police will have a female officer take photos of the marks on the victim's body as evidence. They will also take hospital reports of the victim being treated for physical abuse into a court of law. Mental abuse is in the control of most victims. The mental abuser often plays mind games and is miserable, but doesn't attack his victim physically. The victim does have the chance to leave their mental abuser and file for divorce. In many cases the lawyer can prove mental abuse. In fact, for years reasons for a divorce was "mental anquish" (the same thing as Mental Abuse.) I agree that Mental Abuse can be as damaging as physical abuse, but, it doesn't leave marks one can see like physical abuse does. Still, the victim has more freedom than a victim that is physically abused to leave the situation or to file for divorce, leaving the rest up to the lawyer. Marcy

Is abuse a consequence of a mental illness?
A mental disorder or mental illness is a psychological or behavioral pattern that occurs in an individual and is thought to cause distress or disability that is not expected as part of normal development or culture (from wikipedia)Someone who abuses someone is doing something culturally unacceptable to another person, or it wouldn't be classified as abuse. So they would have some mental disorder, at least until the normal development of culture changes.Based on the standards of 150 years ago, everyone suffers from mental disorder.
What should you do if your husband always says you dont have brains and always finds mistakes in you?
* This is called 'mental abuse' and it can be just as bad as physical abuse; physical abuse leaves scars you can see, but mental abuse can leave psychological scars that you or others are not aware of. People who 'put down' their partner are actually insecure in themselves. If your husband is not physically abusive to you then it's time you gave yourself a boost in confidence and stood up for yourself and tell him he either gets some counseling (both of you) or the marriage is over. If he refuses then it's to your best interest to leave the marriage because as years pass mental abuse can often turn into physical abuse or the husband can leave without warning.
How can you stop sabotaging current potential relationships because your afraid you may duplicate the emotional and verbal abuse you suffered over 4 years ago?
Stop pursuing potential relationships until you've healed from the emotional and verbal abuse you suffered. That is a task worthy of your attention without the distraction of romantic involvement. You can be a worthwhile person without being attached to a romantic partner, and you will have a lot more to offer after addressing these issues.
Why does a woman keep taking her husband back?
For me I keep taking him back because I love him and we have been together for 28 years, but it gets worst every time with verbal and physical abuse. I wish I knew what I know now, they never change and if it didn't work the first time its not going to. I regret it now, face it the marriage is over.
