People can have arguments and sometimes say things they don't mean because it's out of anger. If this is the case then no, the person isn't really being mentally abusive, but if it's persistent then yes, it is mental abuse. What you have to decide is, is there any basis for this statement? If you feel you are depressed or cranky all the time it doesn't hurt to get what I call an "oil and lube" on the old brain. I've gone to a psychologist a couple of times just to be sure I've been handling very stressful situations appropriately and to be sure I'm on the right road. I also learned how to use tools to cope with that "down feeling" we all can get at times. It's called Cognitive Therapy. If this person is calling you stupid, swearing, starting arguments then indeed it is mental abuse and you have 2 choices. Stay, or go. You have to decide how much you are willing to take. Marcy A person cannot be arrested unless they have committed a crime. Being mentally ill or having emotional problems would not make a person subject to arrest. In certain situations a person can be taken into custody for their own and others protection. If this were the case the person would be taken to a hospital for evaluation and could not be held against their wishes for more than 24-hrs, unless there was an order from the court. Mental abuse does not make a person subject to arrest, incarceration or institutionalization, it can however be used as evidence in divorce proceedings and other civil actions.

Yes. You have to have parental consent to be legally emancipated, unless you are being mentally/emotionally abused, physically abused, or their living arrangements are unstable.
There is no single prototype of an abused spouse. Publically prominent people such as actors, politicians, and socialites have all been victims of abuse. Some victims have learned, as a coping mechanism, to put on a good front to the outside world. Even with obvious bruises or right after the abuser makes a rude comment towards them, they will smile and deny that any sort of abuse is going on. Even when the victim has a social life, she is still mentally isolated from other people--she feels she cannot admit to being abused out of fear or being seen as weak.
