Those who engage in verbal abuse often distort facts to make the victim doubt their memories, perceptions, and even their own sanity. Individuals who frequently experience verbal violence will also try to avoid their anger or criticism from their partners, and victims will learn to remain silent.  He will suppress his own desires, opinions and feelings.  The victim will lose their voice and identity as a result.
