When people think of domestic abuse, they often focus on domestic violence. But domestic abuse occurs whenever one person in an
intimate relationship or marriage tries to dominate and control the other person.
Domestic violence and abuse are used for one purpose and one purpose only: to gain and maintain total control over you. An abuser
doesn’t care about you. Abusers use fear, guilt, shame, and intimidation to wear you down and keep you under his or her thumb.
Your abuser may also threaten you, hurt you, or hurt those around you.
Domestic violence and abuse do not discriminate. Abuse occurs within all age ranges, ethnic backgrounds, and economic levels.
And while women are more commonly victimized, men are also abused, especially verbally and emotionally. The bottom line is that
abusive behavior is never acceptable, whether it’s coming from a man, a woman, a teenager, or an older adult. You deserve to feel
valued, respected, and safe.
Domestic abuse often escalates from threats and verbal abuse to violence. There are people who live in a strong fear of their
partner. They feel like they have to walk on eggshells around their partner. They constantly have to watch what they say and do in
order to avoid a blow up. They experience both physical and verbal abuse. So, while physical injury may be the most obvious
danger, the emotional and psychological consequences of domestic abuse are also severe. Emotionally abusive relationships can
destroy your self-worth, lead to anxiety and depression, and make you feel helpless and alone. No one should have to endure this
kind of pain, and your first step to breaking free is recognizing that your situation is abusive. Once you acknowledge the reality of the
abusive situation, you can get the help you need.
