Slinging insults is verbal abuse. Blame shifting is emotional/psychological abuse.
Is your wife abusive in other ways, when you're not fighting?
I am divorcing my abusive husband. We tried couples counseling, and he went to individual therapy for the last year, and it barely helped. He is still abusive, and now I am leaving him because of it. Abusers RARELY change, if ever, and therapy doesn't help. All they do is manipulate and charm the therapist - an abusive person, that is.
