I just stumbled on here from a verbal abuse site. Wow. What a difference in opinion!

My first response to this topic is that everyone here obviously has never read and educated themselves on true verbal and emotional abuse. Typically, society views name-calling and yelling as verbal abuse. Yes, but that's only part of it. Show me a single marriage that doesn't include yelling and name calling! EVERYbody is guilty of abuse there.

True verbal/emotional abuse is much more covert and systematic than simply one who loses her/his temper. It's likened to brainwashing and once you unlock the system and come out of the fog of an abusive relationship you can see the devistating (sometimes life-long) effects of abuse.

I doubt anyone here can say they have life-long effects from an arguement with their x.

However, if you have symptoms of Post-traumatic stress, it's very likely you were emotionally abused and you better believe the person who did that to you deserves to get the worse end of the deal in divorce!

Please, before this topic goes further and all of us end up looking foolish, read up on true verbal abuse. It's way more than what you say you think it is and it does the millions of survivors a disservice to perpetuate this ignorance.
