Verbal abuse is the deliberate act of undermining a person's self-worth by belittling them or scolding them incessantly. A fight ends and hopefully the parties involved make up and apologize. Verbal abuse does not end, and the abuser will never apologize. It is a method of domination and control that denies the victim dignity.

Typically, a fight would be two people have a heated discussion. A fight would have both a beginning and and ending. Verbal abuse is one-sided. A person is verbally (and thereby mentally) abusing another when he or she belittles, shames, disgraces or talks down to another person. This type of abuse usually occurs more than once.
