Why Do I Love a Man That Hurts Me?

Verbal abuse is seen in casual (new) dating situations amongst both adults AND TEENS with shocking frequency. From name calling and put downs to physical assaults, women stay in relationships with men that they apparently love more than they love themselves. Tonight we'll discuss the frequency which women return to abusers, the high tolerance women have for verbal abuse, types of injuries suffered, what women feel about their abuse/abusers, and provide solutions for healing.

Our guests include Patricia Evans, author of the best-seller The Verbally Abusive Relationship and the recently released The Verbally Abusive Man, Can He Change?, and Robin Sax, a former Los Angeles County Prosecutor who specialized in felony cases including sex crimes, domestic violence, and stalking.

Together they'll address the insidious nature of verbal, emotional and psychological abuse and answer the question: is verbal abuse a kind of violence? Read Recognizing Verbal Abuse. Call into the show at 347-327-9215
