Domestic abuse and violence are much more common that most people think. Women are commonly the victims, although in many cases the victims are children. The challenge with this type of violence, both for victims and outsiders, is that it is something difficult to recognize the signs. Perpetrators are manipulative and are likely to make the incidents of violence look like the fault of the victim. Friends and family can play a big role in stopping this behavior, but they need to be able to identify the issue.
Key Takeaways:
- A domestic abuser will typically call you names, insult you and put you down.
- Domestic violence can happen in any type of relationship, whether your lesbian, bisexual or transgender.
- If your partner blames you for the violence they’re giving, it’s a red flag as they rarely take responsibility.
“Abusive relationships always involve an imbalance of power and control. An abuser uses intimidating, hurtful words and behaviors to control his or her partner.”
