What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence is defined as the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as a result of a systematic pattern of power and control inflicted from one intimate partner against another.

The Course of Domestic Violence

When someone is in the situation of domestic violence, it can be very hard to leave. This is because many victims fear the consequences of losing their children in a custody battle, losing their home, and the unknown of what life will be like after the fact. There is a typical cycle that the perpetrator/victim go through during this time.

  1. Tension building: whether over children, money or jobs, tension builds and verbal abuse begins.
  2. Acute battering episode: The verbal abuse eventually boils over and physical violence takes place.
  3. Honeymoon phase: The abuser shows remorse while sometimes blaming the victim for their actions and begins to act in a loving and caring way. Then the cycle begins again.
