So many people need to understand this. Unfortunately for me the only ones that have understood, are those who have gone threw it.It's worse than physical abuse in many ways..... I experienced both as a child in a dysfunctional family and both ways in marriage.I can remember sometimes thinking “just hit me...that will heal” Grateful today I’m healing from the inside out!!!SO TRUE,HURTS THE SOUL AND YOUR SPIRIT....TRUE! I AM A VICTIM! THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR MERCY🙌🙌🙌❤🙏🙏I am not a victim, I’m a survivor of the verbal and emotional abuse brought on by my blood family. So grateful God has shown me my true worth💙My first marriage verbal abuse constantly daily 28 years finally I divorced him God blessed me with a wonderful man for the next 20 years never said a bad word to me never treated me like a queen he went home to be with Jesus 3 years ago I still miss him he was my angel. I almost found myself in the same situation with someone like my first husband I'm so happy I got a way God's good always trust him.I keep seeing comments that say "physical wounds heal" and such...which is physically true, but physical violence is ALSO emotional and psychological abuse in itself. I have survived both forms, and the trauma from being hit is still as present as the verbal abuse. You may not constantly recount the bruises, but, even though your current significant other has NEVER raised a hand or voice to you, you flinch at the sudden movement of their hand or legs.Amen. This is so true! Compliment your kids on their good points. Encourage them to be anything they want to be! Never speak down to them. You are molding a persons little life forever. Words hurt.You can heal from physical abuse. It’s so hard to forget words that wound you soul.It was indeed a hard life for me and I got out, thriving, independent, and happy!So true. Also other types of abuse, emotional abuse such as lying or taking advantage of another’s inherent goodness and betrayal of trust,financial abuse such as stealing or misdirecting assets, refusal to hold steady employment, and refusing to pay your debts or taxes therefore putting another at risk. Selfishness, self centeredness, failure to respect another person’s right to exist. Adultery is sexual abuse putting an unknowing partner at risk of disease. Abuse is much more than a fist.Correction- verbal abuse is worse than physical. I would rather someone hit me- than tear me down emotionally and make me question my worth and value with their words. Unfortunately- one usually comes with the other.Yes it is so painful.. The consequences are harmful to the soul and mindI have experienced both and you can be physically handicapped for the rest of your life with a daily reminder. Your physical damage does not always heal!I heard a therapist say you can overcome physical abuse easier than verbal abuseMore damaging than physical abuse! It never goes away! It eats away and will destroy! Healing comes from God! Trust in His amazing love!Yes. This. We need to always advocate victims of this. We all know it’s bad. But we accept it more than physical abuse. Who doesn’t take a little verbal abuse? Okay... I know not everyone does. But I think at least 75% women in America take it frequently. (And maybe it’s a platonic relationship). Verbal abuse has been around since the beginning of time. And in case you don’t connect the 2; Bullying is verbal abuse. Manipulation is verbal abuse. Mocking or teasing, same thing! I am sad to say I have known the feeling from an early age. And even then I knew what it took to accept the abuse and tell yourself “They didn’t meant it”. Then work so hard to get them to like you! I’m just saying we need to talk about this more. Because we need to know, as complex emotional empathic women, how to stop it. xoYes. There is also what we call emotional abuse. Less of the verbal, but more on manipulative behaviour. This is dangerous as it is unseen.Thank the Lord for His great deliverance! I was verbally abused by my sister (physically too but it didn't do as much damage as verbal). I'm so thankful God delivered me from all the things it caused in me. Now she does it to my nieces and nephew and wish there was something I could do.Absolutely! Its effects can sometimes last longer than physical abuse.So true! Esp when its someone who is suppose to love you! God heals all hurts!I have to agree with the few women brave enough to say it in this thread- Anyone who says verbal abuse is worse than physical abuse has obviously never experienced physical violence. Women who are physically abused are also verbally and emotionally abused at the same time.And it NEVER goes totally away! It breaks your heart each time!Verbal abuse was worse to me than the physical abuse. It's been 34 years since I made my escape. I have scars that no one can see and I am damaged emotionally. But I got out alive and I got my 2 kids out of the nightmare before they were damaged, as well. I am very thankful to the Lord for helping me and giving me the good sense and courage to leave.
