hi Live
I want to thank you so much for this threat, it has broken, finally my denial as to verbal and emotional abuse that i receive from my gf (we are the another evidence that abuse can be carried out by a woman too!).
Another website I found extremely helpful is
www.drirene.com.
I identified with so many, although not all (but the fact that it's some and not all doesn't matter and doesn't make it less damaging) of the definitions of verbal and emotional abuse. The following applies to me and it's defined as emotional and verbal abuse:
walking ahead of me when in the street and an argument starts
not making eye contact when I talk
silent treatment
ignoring me when I talk so that I have to repeat the same thing more than once to get her attention
walking away from me when talking without saying anything
turning her back to me when I'm talking
saying I am too sensitive
Love Jo
