Berating and belittling
Verbal abuse is a very real thing and it occurs more often than we care to admit. Verbal abuse can manifest as threats of physical violence, humiliating tirades, name-calling, belittling, degrading comments, and screaming. While any healthy relationship can experience heated arguments from time to time, things tend to cross over into abusive territory when there is a clear imbalance of power and one party is fearful of the other. There are also scenarios when the berating and degrading is exchanged between partners. These relationships are also considered abusive.
