Domestic Violence

One of the common examples of domestic violence is that the person behind this opts between violent, apologetic and abusive behavior with actual sincere promises to change. Domestic violence usually includes elder abuse, intimate partner abuse, spouse or husband abuse, child abuse or domestic abuse. Domestic abuse between intimate partners or spouses partners occurs when one partner in an intimate or marital relationship tries to over-power the other partner. The perpetrator normally tries to use intimidation and fear and try to threaten or use physical violence. Domestic abuse is said to be a domestic violence when some kind of physical violence is involved in it.

Physical abuse on the other hand is the use of physical force against other partner in a method which usually ends-up injuring the person. Physical abuse even ranges from murder to physical restraint. When a person talks about domestic violence, they often refer to physical abuse of an intimate partner or a spouse. Physical abuse includes beating, hitting, slapping, kicking, grabbing, tripping, choking, pinching, shaking, holding, bruising, battering, throwing, pushing, biting, breaking, assaulting, burning, confinement, restraining and also murdering. 

Emotional, psychological or mental abuse can be either non verbal or verbal abuse of an intimate partner or a spouse which normally consists of subtle actions. As physical abuse is said to be worse, the scare of emotional or verbal abuse is much deeper. Studies reveal that non verbal or verbal abuse can damage a person more emotionally than physically. Non verbal or verbal abuse includes intimidating or threatening, destructing victim’s personal belongings, screaming or yelling, name-calling, making fun, embarrassing, mocking, criticizing, not trusting, saying hurtful things, excessive possessiveness, sexual exploitation, harassment and blaming.
