Abusive spouse accuses "WAW" as "the" problem

[freespirit]

• constant criticism; the "you never do anything right" attitude
• Name calling; anything from cruel and demented to "old goat" who nobody wants anymore
• Discounting: I say something and he says "It isn't that way" (devalues her opinion and perspective and calls her sanity and "common sense" into question"
• Contering: I never verbally abused you...YOU abused ME!!!!
  
  Patricia Evans books can be loaned to you from a local library; she has examples and phrases that we have heard, time and time again. These are "just a few" of the pervasive hateful and distrespectful attitudes and statements that an abusive husband or person treats others...usually spouse.
