Domestic Violence is abuse within a family or intimate relationship.
A batterer uses various forms of abuse to maintain power and control over another human being. Physical abuse includes actions like punching, slapping, hitting, kicking, breaking bones, denying sleep, nutrition or medical care. Watching your every move. Isolating you from family and friends. Sexual assault is forced, coerced or manipulated sexual acts you did not give consent to.
