In my work as a forensic psychologist I have been involved in hundreds of criminal cases of domestic abuse over the years. Some of them involved the death of one, or even both, of the people in the relationship. I think it is obvious to everyone that by the time couples are using physical weapons against each other, the relationship is in very deep trouble to say the least.

Many don't realize that it is not physical assault nor dangerous weapons that irrevocably destroy relationships. It's in actuality something far worse that causes relationships to cease to exist. Are you curious to know what kind of weapon does the most damage?

Words!

One of my favorite songs by the band INXS is, "The Devil Inside". It talks about how we, as human beings are frail and weak. To quote from the song, "Words as weapons sharper than knives. Makes you wonder how the other half die." That line of the song is describing a woman, but it can also easily apply to a man.

We have all heard the children's rhyme "sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me", but in truth, this is quite the opposite. Name calling and harsh words are terribly abusive and undermining in ways that are quite difficult to rebuild. Many people are also taught that once they say they are sorry, the damage has been repaired, but as all of us know, this is not the case. Hurtful words are never really forgotten, even with the best of intentions.

An old adage goes, "you can never unring a bell once it has rung." This adage could just as well be applied to the things you say. Once you unleash your anger, you cannot pull it back. You can apologize, but it will not make up for the hurt you have caused. The injuries you cause your loved one may not be something you can see, but they may hurtful and long-lasting as if you stabbed them with a knife.
