Domestic violence and abuse is the biggest problem of the today’s age. No matter how educated people are, they can be victims and they can be the culprits. It could be the psychological teasing or the physical abuse. In both cases the victim suffers. There are many reasons for this act and many symptoms that can identify a person’s aggressive behavior.
1. To gain control
The domestic abuse also called spousal abuse is the situation in the married relations where one partner tries to control the other partner. In this situation, the relation suffers a lot.
2. Domestic violence
Domestic violence is the situation when one partner suffers the physical beating of the other partner. Mostly female members of the family suffer from domestic violence from their husbands, their fathers or any other family member.
3. It is not discriminatory
Domestic violence is not only limited to the females, but males, kids, and people belonging to every age, race, society are victims of it.
4. Acknowledging
The first thing to stop the abuse is to recognize it. When a person is being abusive to you, or treats you harshly, this is the time when the sufferer has to stand up and counter the domestic abuse.
5. Emotional and psychological pressure
The immense emotional and psychological pressure due to this abuse results in depression and other psychological troubles. The continues and increased domestic abuse can lead the victim to even perform some really un-wanted tasks like committing suicide, or leaving home etc.
6. Signs of abusive relationship
The biggest sign of an abusive relationship is the fear of the dominant partner. When one feels that he/she has to take extra care to avoid any un-healthy talk, it means the relation is felling for domestic abuse.
7. Physical abuse and domestic violence
Physical abuse is the physical injuries that occur to a person because of his partner or any other family member or any other person. The victim feels endangered because of that person. It is a serious crime
8. Sexual abuse
One of the worst forms of physical abuse is the sexual abuse. When the person is sexually assaulted without his consent, this goes into a bigger crime then even beating. There are many cases of this kind that are registered daily.
9. Do not give up
One of the aspects of the physically or mentally assaulted people is that they give up after showing some resistance. This is wrong, if the person can beat them once or he even disgraces them verbally, they give up by being passive to avoid any un-wanted and ugly scene. This gives the boost to the aggressive behavior of the dominant person.
10. Economic abuse
This aspect is very less concerned but it is always there. The abuser’s goal is to teas the victim. And to do so, he can control the economic affairs of the house. To make others account for every penny they spend, or restricting them to spend money at all is very common but ignored aspect pf domestic abuse and violence.
