What constitutes abuse nowadays?

What constitutes verbal or mental abuse How do I know if I should report it?

• Answer:

  None of us are innocent of using some verbal abuse when under stress, but, there are people that make a habit out of of it. Some people enjoy playing (or toying) with another which is called 'mental abuse' if it is not done is fun (joking around) and is a put down. Verbal or mental abuse from a person means that person has psychological issues they are not dealing with. It could have been caused from the environment in which they were raised in or a learned pattern throughout their adulthood. The very ones that put down another person are either envious, jealous or want to control (by mind games) the victim by breaking their confidence level down to their level. Mental Abuse Playing games with the person such as getting you to do something for them and then suddenly denying they even asked you and making you believe you are losing your mind. Denying a sexual relationship or trying to control your mind into thinking you are a lesser person and won't make it without them or won't amount to much out in the world. Keeping the victim captive in their own home. Not allowing them to have friends or, not allowing the victim to drive a vehicle or go out on their own to better themselves. Verbal Abuse Is name-calling such as 'swearing'; telling the person they are good for nothing; won't amount to much; no one likes them; take away any pleasure the victim has by down playing it and verbally attacking the victim. Mental/Verbal abuse is basically the all in one when it comes to Mental Abuse.
