Becoming a Verbal Abuse Survivor This blog and my website is dedicated to unmasking verbal abuse. I was married for almost 17 years before realizing that verbal abuse is part of my every day life. Using my history as your textbook, I hope you learn to spot, stop, and prevent verbal abuse from infecting you and your relationships. Use my journals to validate your experience or help you decide if your life is infected with abuse. Learn with me as I decide "what to do" now that I see the truth.
