What can aunts and grandparents do if they are aware of physical and mental abuse but the abuser is such a good liar that she has DYFS and police fooled?
Begin documenting every suspected incident with the date, place, and details, such as physical signs (multiple bruises, burns, etc.), emotional changes such as a child who is usually active being subdued and fearful or vice-versa a child who is generally calm or quiet suddenly becoming aggressive and argumentative. Take note of what the child/children might say about being punished or "worrying about making mommy mad" that sort of thing. DO NOT question the child or make suggestions as to what may be happening in their home. It is highly unusual for DFS case workers, teachers or police officers to be "fooled", but not impossible. The ages of the child and their past behavior are also taken into consideration when cases are being investigated; therefore child abuse or neglect is easier to spot in children of school age. Be advised teachers cannot share such information or suspicions except with authorities. Especially important is any information that may be available of the child or children receiving emergency medical care. These records would not be available to unauthorized persons, but if a family member knew of a child being taken to an emergency room, it is one more incident that would need to be investigated and explained. Extreme caution should always be used to assure that the child/children are not placed in further jeopardy by those who are trying to help.

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

This sounds like mental abuse. You have to decide what you are going to do. Why would the person you are married to do this. Does she have mental issues because if not you will soon. Either go to therapy together to work out your issues or get a divorce and move on with your lives.
Can a mental abuser really see the error of his ways and put things right?
Answer Sometimes they can and sometimes they can't. Unless they is some mental illness going on, people can change if they want to. Certainly a mental abuser who is not mentally ill will figure it out when he or she gets enough negative feedback/responses from others. Usually when someone is a mental abuser they need professional counseling to correct the problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. If the person thinks what he or she is doing is okay or they get some kind of sick enjoyment, power trip from it they may not WANT to change.
