verbal aand emotional abuse can be just as harmful as the physical.
bead also deals with this, and we are learning how to 'teach him how to
treat us' and it seems to be working. its like when you start telling hubby that his hurtful comments are unacceptable, then he may quit. he has to know what is ok and what is not, and only you can teach him this. bead
admit, it is hard at first, however iot does get easier with practice. dont know if you see a T or not, but if you do he\she would also be able to help you learn how to do this. feel free to pm bead if you have any questions!
hope things get gooder for you quickly!
sending warm fuzzies and peaceful thoughts your way,

bead
