When the person who was meant to whisper sweet things to you starts belittling you, every jibe, every harsh word can pierce through your heart and break it into a million pieces. Yet, verbal abuse in relationships can be extremely hard to identify because it's often masked as seeming 'harmless' mocking and sneering that has been normalized to an unfortunate extent.
Even though you know it's hurtful and a sense that a palpable unpleasantness has taken hold in your connection, you may not recognize the abusive pattern at play here. Misconceptions surrounding what abuse in relationships looks like, coupled with the fact that the exchange of hurtful words, arguments and occasional yelling are not uncommon between couples, makes it even harder for victims of verbal abuse in relationships to acknowledge what's being done to them.
This book THE VERBALLY ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP will generate more awareness about this subtle yet insidious pattern, the signs, its effect, and how to deal with it in your relationship.
