They have a tendency to linger after work dreading to go home. But many times, they rush and leave so quickly because if they are a minute late, they will most likely be abused.
There are several types of abuse: physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, verbal, and economical. However, they are all used for the same purpose; to control the life of another human being.
Physical and sexual assaults, or threats to commit them, are the most apparent forms of domestic violence and are usually the actions that allow others to become aware of the problem. However, regular use of other abusive behaviors by thebatterer, when reinforced by one or more acts of physical violence, make up a larger system of abuse. Although physical assaults may occur only once or occasionally, they instill threat of future violent attacks and allow the abuser to take control ofthe woman’s life and circumstances.
