For all parties involved please...

Instructions
1
Identify and admit that verbal abuse is occurring. The first step to ending verbal abuse is realizing that it is abuse and that it needs to stop. Verbal abuse comes in many different forms, ranging from name-calling, provoking, degrading, controlling and/or condescending language.

2
Recognize that the verbal abuse is not true. Whatever the abuser may be saying has no basis in reality and is only a manifestation of the abuser's own insecurities and lack of anger management.
