Hey Robin,
I enjoyed reading your post. When it comes to domestic violence, most individual's general first thought is of physical violence, such as slapping, beating, and/or hitting. We tend to forget that domestic abuse also includes verbal, spiritual, mental, sexual, emotional and financial behaviors performed by one individual on another within an intimate affiliation. Abusive behavior is used to exercise control within a relationship. Very seldom is one form of domestic abuse originated by itself. Usually, where one form of abuse occurs, it is surrounded by the context of other methods of abuse. Hence, an offender of physical violence will also subject his victim to verbal and emotional abuse, and oftentimes it usually comes first
