An enormous amount of verbal abuse accompanies physical abuse. A barrage of derogatory labels such as "stupid b*tch", "ugly slut", or "cheap whore" are heaped upon you. Mind games are rampant. Some verbal abuse is less obvious to you. It can be so subtle that the you are unable to identify the intent of the words. You accept this judgment that your housekeeping is sloppy, your childcare lax, and you are a hopeless, unappealing drudge. You didn't cook something just right, that outfit you have on doesn't match, he can't find something and your the one that has misplaced it. Your self esteem slips even lower.
A man who batters is a master at blaming other people and external events for his own behavior. He is never wrong but you always are. Your to blame about everything that goes wrong. If he has a bad day at work he comes home and let's it out on you.
His Sarcastic comments literally punch you in the face. He goes on and on about a topic until you are mentally drained and just give up because you know, know matter what you say it won't matter, he will just over ride you anyways.
