Domestic violence often begins subtly, where the offender randomly becomes violent over events frustrating them. However, others seek to gain a position of control and power over their intimate partner or family. Abuse can be emotional, physical, sexual, psychological, or economic actions or threats that are meant to intimidate, hurt, or control another person.
Unhealthy behavioral patterns should be keenly observed to avoid instances of serious physical or emotional injury. Behaviors that intimidate, terrorize, frighten, manipulate, hurt, injure, blame, or wound someone should call for immediate action. Some of the unhealthy and destructive habits you should watch out for include:
- Partner embarrasses you in front of your family or friends
- Partner tears down your accomplishments
- Partner abuses drugs or takes excessive alcohol and says hurtful words or physically assaults you
- Partner excessively punishes the children for simple errors
- Treats you roughly, pushes, pinches, shoves, or hits you
- Intimidates you into complying with his belief or religion
- Constantly blames you for the situation they are in
- Forcefully prevents you from pursuing your dreams
- Prevents you from leaving even after hitting you
- Makes you feel little and incapable of making decisions
