and where does one draw the line??? For me, it is abuse, when myself esteem/confidence is altered. If my H called me names it would meet the line. If my H had negative things to say about my D or her father, the line would have been met.

Well...for what purpose? Are we talking abusive enough to prevent someone from having the right to parent their child....or....what makes me sad?

I am speaking of spouse/SO abuse. Some people think you have to take a beating over and over again for it to be abuse. I think wider than that.

Verbal or nonverbal abuse of a spouse or intimate partner may include:
Threatening or intimidating to gain compliance.
Destruction of the victim’s personal property and possessions, or threats to do so.
Violence to an animal or object (such as a wall or piece of furniture) in the presence of their partner, as a way of instilling fear.
Yelling, screaming, name-calling.
Shaming, mocking, or criticizing the victim, either alone or in front of others.
Possessiveness, isolation from friends and family.
Blaming the victim for how the abuser acts or feels.
Telling the victim that they are worthless on their own.
Making the victim feel that there is no way out of the relationship

...when ANYTHING is done, and it is made clear by the recieving party that this is not acceptable behavior, and it continues. With the exception of PHYSICAL abuse, the first time should warrant a warning.

Calling you names and talking about your childs father infront of the child is verbal abuse. Depending on what is said it could also be mental abuse.
