The Verbally Abusive Relationship: How to Recognize it and How to Respond
Reviewer/Reader Feedback: "This book was extremely well-written and to the point. It was so helpful to see the same behaviors I had observed documented in the book. The author not only describes verbal abuse but explains the typical perspective of both the abuser and the abused. Having an understanding of these perspectives is invaluable and key to understanding the dynamics of the verbally abusive relationship. Thankfully the author was not content to stop these, but went on to describe responses to the abuser that have been tested in real world situations."

How do you get out of a job when the boss is verbally/emotionally abusive and you haven't even been there for 6 months? Is it possible to explain to a potential employer the "real" reason that you're looking for a new job without making yourself look overly sensitive?

To the last comment on 3/4/2007 -- Start looking for another job. But you shouldn't have to explain anything about your previous boss to your new potential employer.

To "Anonymous" re verbal abuse and weight gain - I have just escaped from 7 years of this and even after 6 months am just realizing the huge and dangerous risk I was taking remaining in a relationship that was taking apart my spirit, piece by piece. In less than 6 months since I left, I have lost 37 pounds. I am healthy, though had to take antidepressants at first. I am gradually seeing that there is hope for a better life, and I no longer miss him, nor hate him. I just feel the extreme caution one might feel around a poisonous snake - beautiful snake, but stay away from it. With all my heart, I urge you to run, no matter how you have to do it, no matter what you have to do. Once your spirit is completely broken, the rest will follow. Get the hell out of there, and STAY gone for at least 6 months, you will be so happy you saved yourself, because those people that are abusive never, never will save you. They would perch like a vulture on your corpse and finish you off. Trust me, I know exactly what you're going through, and feel your desperation. Run now, deal with details later. Good luck - Suzanne

just get out now, figure out what you're going to tell him or what way you'll deal with it or whatever later. right now, just get out of his orbit, if can can.

I started dating my husband in 1993 and the verbal abuse started before we married later in 1995. I was young not even quite 20 years old at the time. I always made excuses for him treating me that way. It has now been a little over 15 years that I have been married to the same man. I don't have much self asteem any more. He seems to never be pleased with what I do. I don't ever feel that I do any thing good enough to satisfy or please him.

I have been married for 28 years. For the first 8 to 9 years of our marriage he would beat me beyond belief. The night I told him his father had tried to sexually assault me, instead of comforting me, he beat me. He no longer beats me, but he does verbally and emotionally abuse me. I have no self esteem. I feel like I have wasted 28 years of my life. I have never talked to anyone about how I feel. All this pain and hurt is tearing me apart. I feel defeated and feel like maybe it's time to find some peace in my life.
