Is this verbal abuse?

edited b/c it was too long and i went off point due to venting, sry


Basically, the story summed up is this:


My grandmother goes off on tangents and yells and is super controlling about every aspect of life. Each time it ends up in me crying and being hurt. Recently she went off on me christmas morning and uses the "button" about the background of my adoption as a way to hurt me during the argument. I try to logically explain my way out of her "Fire" and no logic exists all is war with her when she is "fired up".

Hey,

This is a tricky situation, but I think that the solution is 'simple': You have to move out of there. The whole thing is toxic - to you, your wife, and your kid. The grandmother feels that she can speak to you in whatever way she wants because it is her house that you are all living in. Thus, she can always resort to the "well, why don't you leave if you don't like living here" card. So, my feeling is that maybe she feels that the time has come for you to move out too.

Hi, sad_boy_24! You have to find a way to get out of there, I agree with chucky. It's not healthy to live this way. She's got no right to hurt you.
